It's going to happen.  It's already happening on these boards.

I already know not to expect anything on time.  

 

LOL, the emjoi I ordered on the 19th is out for delivery.  The drone I ordered the 30th of Nov. has not shipped.   If it doesn't stop snowing our roads will be closed again this afternoon.

Should a billion dollar corporation guarantee delivery of my purchases, I would expect them to be true to their word, as in DON'T MAKE PROMISES YOU CANNOT KEEP. 

 

 

Frankly, to call fellow posters "fools" is worse than a little whining.

There are so many variables to ordering this late.

 

They've been promoting Christmas since July.  And Christmas is the same day every year.  LOL

@magicmoodzSorry, just indicating you're "fooling yourself" if you think they will be delivered.  Wrong choice of words.

@magicmoodzAlso, I think corporations have all intention of getting your packages to you, things happen, weather, etc.  Once those packages go out the door, it is no longer in their hands.

If coming on this board and venting makes them feel a little better about their situation, then

let them be. Some people cannot seem to resist the temptation to scold others. If their whining

bothers you ,walk on by. Happy Holidays!!!

I can understand if people who could not mail early due to financial issues would see their packages delivered late.  But I also don't want to hear complaints from people who could have shipped early but didn't.  Local post offices were overwhelmed the past three or four mailing days.
