Intel: WTF?!?!

[RaynorWolfcastle]

I ordered some (free) technical manuals about developping for the Netburst arch. from Intel about a month ago, and completely forgot about it. I just got an email from Fedex telling me that they've shipped my manuals to me Fedex International Priority. WTF?!?

I'm not complaining about the delay because the PDFs are available online and I wasn't in a rush to get the hard copy anyway, but if you're gonna wait a month before shipping an item, why bother shipping it overnight? I don't know who's in charge of shipping this stuff but Intel needs to either (a) save some money by not shipping overnight after a month or (b) get the items shipped quickly so that the overnight shipping actually changes something to the total time to complete the order.

AMD needs to put a little more pressure on Intel, I think

Maybe they lost the order and priority shipped them as an "oh sh!t" move.

hmmm

they wouldnt mention it, thats for sure...would kinda make sense

though id more expect them to make an excuse and send it as slow as possible

Maybe their rates are so damn low it's not biggy for them.

I ordered from some piss ass website that did pricing like that.

Item would be like $150, normally $175 elsewhere. $15 shipping with next day FedEx. So cool, basically like free next day shipping.

Tuckfards take 4 days to ship, freaking fine print. So it ends up being the same cost and same wait as any other place.

That's most likely it, given that I'm not paying them a dime for it.
