You know how you have that box of things you have been meaning to take to Goodwill (Charity shops) but you keep forgetting? You pass by the charity shop nearly every day you are out, but it is only when you are out that you remember the box? That's me with mylot right now. I have you all in a box, but it isn't until I have logged off (left the house) that I remember I meant to come say Hi. So Hi! Now to my rant... I had something on subscribe and save (amazon) that was not supposed to be delivered til the 12th. I only just noticed that this was the month it was meant to be delivered, and so I went on today to cancel it. They said they would try, but might not be able to because it was already in the process of shipping. "They", in this case, being an automated message. I go on just now to check it and it has shipped along with something that should have left the facility yesterday! I am a prime customer, and I ordered the item on Saturday, and Amazon has a deal with the post office to deliver on Sunday's so surely they could have prepared it for shipping yesterday as well. Amazon has been shipping in three days and not two here lately, and by lately I mean since around October! Grr.. Just Grr. Anyway, I had to get that off my chest. Did I mention this sub and save item is going to make my bank account bounce? Yup.

@ScribbledAdNauseum hope you get something good out of that $10. You deserve that!

@allen0187 I bought a set of colored pencils that would normally be $12.00 but was marked down to $3.00.

Oh man I hope you have protection on your bank account so they won't charge you a fee if it bounces.

@shaggin Not that I like relying on that. When I had a regular job, I had atleast $300.00 in my account at all times. Now I am scraping by with $30.00.

Yes, I have a savings account that is set to draw money from in case of an overdraft.

It's Christmas... they probably think they're being helpful getting the subbed and saved item out to you early. And hi!

I don't like to order online. Shipping is often disappointing. I prefer to shop in a bricks and mortar store,

To each their own. I like online a little better and most places are now striving to have things delivered more promptly.

This is the most problematic thing with an online purchase. Most of the times I go back after seeing the delivery time. You should have observed their delivery time of the product before ordering.

You misunderstand. The item that they shipped to me was not supposed to be shipped until the 12th. It was a subscribe and save item, which means it automatically ships every three months on the 12th.
