Amazon: I hate you a little right now.

Yes, Amazon, your convenience and general reliability make you a dear friend of mine.  I can overlook the tens of thousands of annoying e-mails you send me when you think have some item that will be of interest to me (side note:  you never do).

What I cannot overlook is that three hours ago, you told me that ordering certain items with standard shipping would be guaranteed to get to my house by Christmas Eve if I ordered in the next 15 hours (or some large number like that).  And now that I've made my final decision to get these items, you tell me my items will arrive after December 25th unless I choose two-day shipping... which eliminates any savings I would've been getting.

What.  What?

I'm slightly stressed, because I know I can get one of these items in town (for a little more expensive, but it evens out when you consider the cost of two-day shipping).  I'm not sure about the other one, however, and for all the hell I know, by the time I figured out if I could find this other DVD, Amazon will have declared next-day shipping the only possible way for me to get my items on time.

Sigh.  =(  I had such a freakin' successful day of Christmas shopping today, and now things start going wrong as I try to wrap it up.  (Erm, no pun intended.)  What to do, what to do.

Edited to Add:  Wow, there are some majorly gross grammatical errors in this entry, not to mention crap that doesn't make sense?  Apparently I'm more tired than I thought.  Too lazy to care or correct anything.

Edit #2:  Ah, okay, I now see what happened.  I'm not sure what the hell the 15-hour countdown was that Amazon was giving me, but apparently my ability to get crap to me by Christmas via standard shipping ended at midnight--I must've been checking on things right before then.  I might stab myself.  I just might.

Edit #3 it's-madness-i-can't-stop:  I did two-day shipping.  I feel like if there's one thing I've learned from The Year 2007, it's to shell out extra cash if (a)you can, and (b)it will bring you peace of mind.  I actually can't shell out extra cash right now, but that's the magic of credit cards, eh?
