The books haven’t arrived and I’m getting a little worried. I have had amazing shopping experiences with Amazon before. Once during a festive season and twice on non-peak periods. The former took a little more time due to increased traffic and security clearance required to clear the packages while the latter arrived almost within a week or two.

The problem is (still is), the previous purchases always met the deadlines and arrived as estimated but this time round, it’s three days late, for crying out loud.

I have emailed Amazon regarding this and they apologised profusely and requested that I give them a little more grace. The forecast is for the package to arrive no later than the 17th. Let’s wait patiently eh? They mentioned that they will take full responsibility for any lost items in transit and will replace the items and ship them at no additional charge. They are more willing to ship the replacements immediately but feared that I might receive duplicates and have to return the extras which causes more hassle eh?

It was an acceptable explanation but I am still feeling edgy because I want my books now.

I wouldn’t want to impose on the wrong people. Who knows the books will arrive tomorrow?

Suffering from a little self denial plus self calming syndrome, ain’t I?
