| | Posted: | | | | WOW. That's about all I can say!
I placed an order at Amazon for four blu-rays. I knew that they would ship in two orders, as two of the titles are not currently available.
What I did not expect, however, is that the other two items would ship at 6:17 PM. I placed the order at 4:09 PM.
That's fast! | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | I placed an order with Amazon UK last week, and I was shocked that it arrived just three days after shipment (four days since ordered). This was with the slow shipping method to the USA. I can't recall a faster shipment from the UK!  | | | | Corey |

I can't recall a faster shipment from the UK! Usually I receive my Amazon shipment like this : Canada (free shipping) - 2 days UK (int. Shipping) - 3 days Germ (int. shipping) - 3 days US (int. shipping) - 10 days The US takes always the longest delivery time for me. I can't really understand why since I take the same delivery option and the customs are not the reason (at least I think). |

I can't recall a faster shipment from the UK! That is crazy fast. I think the best I ever got was 7 days. All of my U.K. orders have been between 7 and 11 days, except for a couple amazon.uk individual used sellers have taken a bit longer. I haven't ordered anything from the U.K. since the Creepshow SE came out, but can say that 99% of my orders from the U.K. got to me quicker than orders with free shipping at DeepDiscount. |

I'm still waiting on a shipment from Amazon.ca, 2+ weeks since shipment so far. Oh well, at least it has a tracking number.  Edit: speaking of which, it finally arrived this afternoon! | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |

| | Posted: | | | | I always find it fascinating how my order (courier) can arrive from the otherside of the world (US) in 24 hours, but it takes a week to get it from Helsinki to Turku (160km / 100miles). |

| | Posted: | | | | It usually takes about 5-6 days (free shipping) for me to get something from Amazon. For example a couple of weeks ago I ordered The X-Files Complete Collection for $164.99 and it was backordered. They shipped it on 4/14 and I got it yesterday. I was kinda suprised since they said I wouldn't get it until 4/21.
When the mailman came I was home and I heard them (I live in apartment and the mailboxes are on the other side of my wall), so I go check my mail, nothing. I go out 15 minutes later and my package is on my doorstep. Almost tripped over it. I might have to complain to the post office, since he never knocked and it could have gotten stolen. | | | We're on a mission from God.
