Maybe it’s being in Madagascar where the postal service is anything but reliable. Where you have to pay the post office in order to pick up packages, where there isn’t a neighborhood mailman, where things take a month to get across the ocean, where mail often gets lost…
but I think that Amazon shipping is amazing. I ordered a few Christmas gifts yesterday, and they will be arriving on Patrick’s doorstep today. And that was the free Super Saver shipping (which it says takes 5-9 days). As much as I think work and rules are extremely over emphasized in American culture… this is an example of American efficiency at it’s best. Wow.
