An Odd Question from Amazon
About three weeks before Christmas I ordered some things from Amazon for my
wife. I'm guessing Amazon was hit pretty hard this year because they still
haven't even shipped yet as of today. The odd message I got from Amazon was
that they needed my permission to delay the shipment before they could finish
processing it. Now, I understand that they just want to reduce the number of
returns. I'm sure many people find things elsewhere and forget they even have
an Amazon order. Still the question was kind of odd in that it basically
consisted of: "We are delaying your shipment until you inform us that it is OK
to delay your shipment." Uhhhhh, why do you need my permission to delay it
when you already are?
