Well I know that they have other merchants- but I made sure that Amazon was the seller on this item.
He told me that it had to travel from one warehouse to the closest warehouse and then ship to me. It wouldn't go out till friday.
I asked if there was a way to get it faster (ship it direct, I'd pay the extra).. he said no.
So then I asked for a refund, because I don't think it's 1 day shipping by anybody's standards to take 5 days. I don't care what their logistical issues and excuses are- It says 1 day shipping and that's a bit disingenuous if you can't even ship within the week. I understand that you're looking at 1 day shipping once it gets sent out- but there's no excuse for how long it'll take to get sent out. The idea of 1 day shipping should not be there to counter-balance the annoyingly long delay they have in shipping in the first place. I feel like that's fraud. Force people to pay expensive 1 day shipping so that they can finally get their product in 5 days. If not- wait a month.
And yes, in the past I've ordered books and games from amazon, and it typically takes about 3 weeks on standard shipping. WTF!? They're the biggest online retailer, why can't they figure this out?
