Because apparently I wasn't stressed out enough already...

I ordered Christmas gifts for my family on Amazon.com on December 12. All items were in stock, available now, and sold by Amazon.com.

Amazon JUST sent me an email telling me "Oops, sorry, turns out it's taking longer than expected to find one of your items, so your order won't arrive until after December 26."

Um, hello, THEY'RE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. And I ordered way early!

They won't even let me cancel the order or expedite the shipping.

So either I give my family nothing for Christmas and ship it all later, or else I have to go to Barnes & Noble and hunt all this stuff down in real time, then bug Amazon for a refund when the stuff eventually arrives.

*cries*

*urges friends to avoid Amazon for important purchases*

Ugh! That is so, so annoying, I'm so sorry for you. I normally love Amazon, but I needed a book for a paper with an approaching deadline. I paid through the nose for overnight shipping, and it arrived...three weeks later. By then I'd already had to buy it in the store since the paper was due. They still, of course, charged me the ridiculous price of the overnight shipping. Feh.
