fsck, I accidentally used my shipping address for my billing address so now it's on hold. I hope they don't cancel my order before I can straighten things out.

:thumbsup:

I :heart: Prime.

Prime is shit. I live in Nashville and everything I've ever ordered from Amazon comes from Louisville, KY facility and it ALWAYS gets here in 1 day :D I get one day shipping for free when I use Amazon.

They love me though. I just spent about $2,500 on various woodworking tools for my shop.

Edit: I've never had anything other than UPS ground used. But again, It all came from the KY facility.

For all the people who quoted me, telling me I'm wrong, I'm just telling you guys the way it was with my amazon.com order. I'm in California, I preordered a Wii Fit from amazon and selected 2 day shipping. The Will Fit was shipped using FedEx 2 day service. /shrug

You originally made a statement, not a declaration of your experience. Plus, selecting 2 day is not the same as being a Prime member.

might vary from area to area... everything I've ever gotten from amazon (started when they sold books/music and nothing else) has been shipped UPS.

Prime uses 2 day fedex.

Not always, as you've already been informed. Plus, you can never choose the shipper when buying from Amazon.

UPS never delivers to a PO Box when shipping by Amazon.

My HDTV, even tho it was sold by Amazon, came from some weird shipping company whose name escapes me at the moment. They called 2 days in advance to verify address and the HDTV came in perfect condition. And fortunately I ordered it 2 days before Amazon started to collect tax from NYC buyers. :)

Ceva.

yeah, CEVA which is Eagle now.
