And they are so SMART with their promotions, aren't they? My orders are often shipped in pieces which suits me just fine usually. They only charge you for the item when they ship you, and they end up sending you multiple shipments with $0 shipping. Love it. Never had to call CS though. I love Amazon too!

I was really impressed with them when they put on their website easy access to used book sellers with 1 click ordering, just like the method used when the book is new. Bravo Amazon ! I agree!

I've had this happen each time I've done it. Maybe coincidence, but I think its actually their secret policy. They let people who are impatient think they'll have to wait a long time so they plunk down extra for shipping. But once they've found out that's not you, they get back to their just-in-time roots; they don't want stuff sitting in their warehouses, they want it sitting in UPS trucks and out of their hands.
