I cannot believe that I forgot to mention that this was shipped out via FedEx. Blame where blame is due!

I haven't had any issues when Prime items were sent UPS. It's usually very good.

One thing puzzles me about Prime, though. In the last 6 months or so they added an even more expedited option to have the package delivered same day!. The only problem is that you have to be pretty near an Amazon warehouse. The thing that bugs me is that my mom gets it with her account (which is though my Prime account), but my wife and I don't, even though we only live about 9 miles from her, and just about the same distance from DC. I've emailed Amazon about it, and they responded that they'd look into it, but I didn't hear anything further. Oh well, it's not the end of the world.

Occasionally I feel bad about my need for instant gratification
