You've gotta be kidding me!

Man...2 days ago I ordered the "StarTech.com 3.5-Inch Drive Bay IDE to Single CF SSD Adapter Card Reader (35BAYCF2IDE)" off of Amazon.com for my 2000XL
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss? ... YCF2IDE%29
I went to check the shipping status today and it says "Shipping Soon" and the estimated delivery date is on Monday the 26 of March....smh....I'm thinking I'd have it by Friday or Saturday. Read a few forums on the site and it turns out that everyone complains about them shipping out an item(s) 2 days after the order, why wouldn't you be notified before purchasing? That's some BS! I won't be ordering from them again.....smh

Commonly they ship between 1-3 business days, if you pick FREE super saver shipping option could take up to a week, I can clearly read there get it by Friday if you choose one day shipping... which of course it is going to cost extra $$

Yea they def know what they're doing, they want you to pay extra to get it delivered faster...smh

Always check to see if they are shipping it or some other business.
Amazon use to warehouse what they sold but now most of it is outsourced.


***EDIT***
I looked and it says that Amazon is the seller so that makes it messed up to have the delay.

Yea it's Amazon, I checked before purchasing...still sucks but lesson learned

True, never had that problem with any other site so I just assumed...I know now

Also make note of that free super saving mentioned, it's a further out date for delivery.

I hate postage times I'd rather just go to a shop and buy it. I'm probably the most inpatient person on this whole forum. I'd probably spend double the price to get something the day before. -sigh-

I'm gonna start selling shit online and sending it out same day via Kevin Costner.

The real problem now is that you rarely get a price that offsets the sh*tty service.

Some online services are incredible while others are a total nightmare.
Then again in many cases you are dealing with someone supplying goods not a true business.

Finally came in the mail just a little while ago, won't be able to install it till later tho

here's the scoop...tried adding the 1.20 os to a floppy from my external floppy drive...it said that I needed to format the disc so I did so but this came up "windows was not able to complete the format" tried different disc as well as a different computer + a laptop and still wasn't sucessful. Then I tried formatting the floppy in the mpc and it formatted it...so i thought smh...I tried adding the 1.20 os again and it said that I needed to format the floppy...WTF! I can install the card reader until I update the OS...I'm stuck!
