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?

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.
