Amazon has made me sad

[alphacygni]

Remember when "Usually ships within 24 hours" used to actually mean "will really very likely ship within 24 hours"? My past three or four amazon orders have all been composed of items with that tag, and none of them has shipped (shipped, not arrived!) in fewer than three business days. Since shipment started taking more time a few years back, this means that no amazon order ever arrives with that almost unnatural speed of yore.

I miss that.

Since my recent orders have all been academically motivated, this makes me double sad.
