WTF?!?! Why would it take a week for two in stock items to ship? I haven't ordered from Amazon in a while, but I remember them shipping extremely quick.

I'm starting to think that paying a few extra bucks to buy them locally is better than waiting two weeks to get my order.

Anyone have any idea what is up with this?

Some people need to take a simple competency test in order to post in some parts of the forum.

I live in Alaska. Free Super Saver Shipping takes about 5 days from placing the order to it arriving at my mail center.

If you picked free super saver shipping (5-9 days) maybe you should complain if you don't receive it after 9 days. Just a thought.

I have been satisfied with amazon's shipping speed, even with the free super saver shipping. I really don't understand the complaint when the prices are comparitivelly low and they are shipping for free.

Same here, it was totally unexpected but welcomed!

Again, paying $79 per year pays itself for most of us who don't pay taxes and who don't want to drive around getting good prices.
