Chaser should be able to help me with this one: Son has decided he is going to play in the school band so we ordered his instrument(s) through Amazon. Mrs. Velo used her Prime to get two day shipping. As she completed her transaction it was guaranteeing Friday delivery. Now she gets notification of Monday delivery. He is supposed to take his instrument to school with him on Monday.
Do we have any recourse? Who do we contact and how. Guaranteed delivery sounds an awful lot like a guarantee...

By the way, we looked at renting the instrument but the rent to own deals were atrocious. Even if he just plays this year and gives it up we would pay just about the same amount as we paid to buy it online as we would pay in rental on the exact same instrument for the one school year. And they want you to rent it for 36 months to own it.
What instrument? I would think it would be rather difficult to guarantee 2 day delivery on a tuba.
Actual tuba? No. Sousaphone? Absolutely!
Percussion kit that includes bells and snare drum along with a stand, case and practice pad. Yeah, my house is gonna get loud...
If they aren't going to guarantee 2 day delivery, don't put that on the check out page and receipt as you check out. It would be very easy to not have that appear for selected items. The item showed as in stock when we purchased by the way.
I went with Cincinnati this week - it's getting harder to find teams. I mean, you can pick someone like Alabama almost every week, but you want to save teams like that for the endgame if possible.
We have a guy in Fort Dodge named Eugene Newsome that has run for public office over and over and over for years. He has never won once. It's gotten to be somewhat of a joke around town now, and I feel sorry for the guy. He means well, but........
When I had real issues with changing prices and differing delivery dates (one on the site, a different one in the delivery info, a different one in the confirmation email) I did an online chat. I not only got the lowest price, but they assured me it would be shipped much earlier than any of the dates. That was the case. Even though Amazon is a "giant" of a company, I think it still wants its customers to remain as happy customers.
I just reread what I said about guarantees and I thought of this. Still makes me laugh.
Haven't seen any for him (he isn't taking PAC money, correct?) just the ubiquitous crazy one against him where the Republicans, suddenly hating rich people, mock him for being a rich guy.
It's pretty stupid and would play well in the outstate but it's a district closer to the Twin Cities. Still, a rich suburb district scared of immigrants so guessing the Republicans will keep the seat. Typical residents only come into Mpls for Viking games. Scary voice commercial lady is making a LOT of Republican commercials this season across the country. She must be making a fortune.
This post is exhibit A as to why I almost never watch live TV anymore. If I want to watch something I record it and watch it later. Sometimes only half an hour later but I can then skip the commercials.Haven't seen any for him (he isn't taking PAC money, correct?) just the ubiquitous crazy one against him where the Republicans, suddenly hating rich people, mock him for being a rich guy.
I don't watch any local TV but the commercials have been creeping into the stuff I do watch. Seen the You Should Hate Phillips one like a hundred times. It's on every freakin channel. They are spending a ton of money against him.
During election season, I'm wondering how some of this voiceover artists get through some of the claims or accusations that they have to read. I want to know how many takes it took to read them without laughing, snorking, or yelling out "WTaF?" in their studio.
The glossy mailers are awesome. I feel like I have to wash after touching them. Mrs. Velo said something about him looking creepy and I had to remind her the old standard of finding the worst picture of your target possible and using it to put a negative image in people's minds from the very start.
