I ordered GTAIV on Saturday (5/17) and my order hasn't shipped yet. I figured I'd give it till today to let it ship out but my order page says "Estimated Shipping Date: 5/27/08". When I ordered I thought Amazon usually overestimates shipping times and it would ship out a lot earlier. Now I'm at the end of the week and I'm seeing no sign of this shipping before the the 27th.
I contacted Customer Service which came down to this:
For example, in-stock items usually ship out within 24 hours when standard, Two-Day, or One-Day shipping is selected; when Super Saver Shipping is selected, these items will ship within 3 to 5 business days. Weekends are not counted as business days.
I know Amazon has always said free shipping is slower but all my years using it has always come so fast. This is why I keep ordering from them.
Has Amazon recently decided to significantly slow down free shipping orders? I've really only been using them because free shipping and no tax was a lot better than going to store. If it takes them this long to ship out orders with free shipping now, I might as well avoid Amazon unless they got some crazy DotD or Lightning Deal.
