Amazon's trust in USPS

Some time ago, I had ordered the new WFRP tome from amazon, and obviously they've now sent my book out with USPS. Their trust in USPS's speed seems to be overwhelming, though:

Items shipped on April 15, 2005:
Delivery estimate: June 13, 2005 - June 15, 2005
1 package via USPS


Perhaps, they take the expression 'snail mail' literally now? Let's see whether they will be able to beat that :D!

Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
Yikes! :eek: Is it coming from someplace far? Do they not have it in stock?

That's crazy.

For me they are either really slow or really fast. A few months back I ordered some books and got them a day before Amazon e-mailed me that they expected the books to arrive in two weeks. Yesterday I got some DVDs I had ordered a month previous and they took their good old time getting here.

It's coming from Nevada to Arizona :D. And it has already been shipped.

The problem may be that the temperatures have gone up. The snails will dry out pretty often, and they will have to replace them :D.

Or cast Expeditious Retreat! Maybe since snails are oozy, they can try to convince their DM that they qualify for the ooze-related speed power that lets Crothian post so fast :D

That Cro-power only gives the target a Post Speed, it doesn't increase other forms of movement. I think snails are so low a CR that they don't get any spellcasting/manifesting anyway.

A Post Speed. Exactly. I guess you didn't fully get my pun? Think about it again ;)

Edit: It was a bad pun anyways :D

Sigh. Yeeah. Crothian as a postal worker would be scary. No one on EN World needs shotguns.
