Amazon is Amazing

19 November, 2008 · 2 Comments

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.
