amazon is getting annoying with their prime service. where they will on purpose, take a week to send something that should take the next day. and often they don't mention it will take 5 weeks to get something, because half of it is from china.
i think the other tactic is to say it will take 2 weeks to get, so when you get it in a week, you'll give them high praise. unlike me, which screamed at them because i expected something that i needed that next day or so, when they gave me this 2-3week span of time... i said what? all other places send it the next day. then they overnighted it.
tell them what you did. they overcharge smaller items to pay for the free shipping. there shouldn't be a delay. i live right next to a hub, i should get it fast.
