It's not woot's fault.

 

[Vehemence]

It sucks but I got the item pretty cheap so I was okay with waiting.

 

[Legendary]

They got it into the shipper's hands in 3 days. They don't advertise anything differently. The path it takes from there is not in their control.

They are micro SD cards, I could have shipped them by carrier pidgeon, they are light hence even $5 is more than enough to ship them with a decent carrier

Yup, and yeah.

Also, what the hell is so "smart" about smart post? Normal priced shipping with transit times that rival those of the speed of smell

 

[Nitemare]

What do you expect for $5?

the pigeons don't have to rest as much.

 

[Pastore]

It's called flat rate shipping. They make money on small items and lose money on big items, so it pretty much evens out for them.

 

[JDub02]

My MicroSD cards are supposed to be here on the 12th.

Smartpost sucks
