@10sluvr We have a big Amazon Fulfillment Center here, but I never seem to get anything from there, LOL.

I can never understand why such a hurry to get a package.  I figure I will get it when it gets here.  So many people shop the same places and for the same things.  I really have never had an issue getting items.  

Wait until the holidays get here.  Shop early for sure.  

I do more local shopping than anything else.  If I can't find what I am looking for then I shop on line.

Can you check the Sold By and Shipped By names for a clue?

@Roscoe the Rascal It's not that I was in a big hurry.  I almost always choose the less packaging option which takes longer.  However, I do find it prudent, if I don't receive my item when it was promised, to check the order status to make sure it doesn't say it's been delivered in this day and age of porch pirates and a lot of mis-deliveries in my area. 

I would prefer to shop locally, but I'm not going to waste gas driving around to different places to find what I want.

@Still Raining Everything I bought was fulfilled by Amazon, so should already be in the country.  

I got my package today and I see nothing indicating it had been through customs or opened. Banged up a bit, but not opened.  Still had the Amazon packing tape on it.  And it was shipped out of the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Caledonia MI.

I wasn't calling you out and just curious why some do what they do.  It didn't sound nice and I am sorry and didn't mean it that way.    I never had an issue with anything missing from my house.  I have a watch dog neighbor across the street plus my daughter lives next door so we keep our eye out for deliveries.  I am pretty close to shopping and I enjoy looking around but searching on line for items always offers a nice variety too.

Recently I was looking for table runners but wanted a certain size and nothing in the stores.  I found some really great ones on Amazon and ordered.  I couldn't believe how nice they were.  

Didn't mean to be rude.
