Well, I will see what happens. I placed my order on the 18th of December and originally they were saying it would ship out around the 26th for arrival before the 31st. That seemed reasonable enough when I placed my order. But they since have updated my status to shipping out around the 10th of January for arrival around the 15th (a full month after I ordered it), and did not explain why the change. That would be 3 weeks after I ordered it, and 2 weeks after the original ship date. IMO, that is not acceptable.

So, I sent them an email mentioning that 3 weeks seemed a bit excessive to ship an item their website says is "in stock" and "usually ships within 24 hours". I did mention I went with the free shipping option, and that according to the website, that only is supposed to add 3-5 days to the normal shipping time, not 3 weeks.

Edited to update: Oddly enough, after my email, my book that was not going to ship out until 1/10/06 has just shipped today.
