Amazon Shipping

So I just purchased a $400 toy from amazon, and when I got to the shipping options I had a few to choose from. When you click an option, it updates the estimated delivery date. Standard Shipping (3-5 Days) estimated I'd get my delivery by April 4th. Two Day Shipping Estimated April 8th. One Day Shipping Estimated April 7th.

I called customer service to ask what the heck was up- she told me it was a glitch and if I want the fastest shipping I should get the one day shipping.

So I took a gamble and selected 1 day shipping.

And it still estimates April 7th (today is the 2nd).

So I Emailed them and complained that if that estimate was correct, I wanted to be downgraded to "Standard" shipping and given a refund (There was a $20 difference in shipping costs).

Now I just haven't heard anything back and I'm getting very antsy.

Why does Amazon Shipping suck so hard? This experience makes me want to do very little business with them.
