Dumbpost

Accidentally used Smartpost for part of a Newegg purchase. As a result I have cheap shipping, but my 500GB Samsung SSD has taken four days to go from Memphis to some burg in Ohio, where presumably it will be picked up by a horse and wagon for forwarding to its final destination.

Edit: and yes, the title is a double entendre, if you want it to be.

For the next time, if you have an Amex, you can get Shoprunner for free with 2 day shipping and free returns. Newegg is one of the companies on the list.

Greatest added benefit Amex has introduced in years.

Well, I had an amex back in the 80's, but we went through some hard times, and I sort of didn't pay them for awhile. We have not spoken since.

Agreed... If you needed the drive so bad, why didn't you buy it local or pay for faster shipping? No Whining!

What is this "buy it local" alternative you speak of?

And yeah, I would happily have paid for faster shipping, if I had taken the time to notice the shipping.
