Holy moly, Amazon.
I ordered some books from Amazon on Tuesday, and got the super-saver shipping, as always.
They arrived TODAY.
That is without a doubt an unprecedented Amazon speed record in all the years I've been ordering from them. GOOD WORK, AMAZON, KEEP IT UP.
I did get a bit lucky with this order, because I'd had another book on order that had been delayed a few weeks beyond the expected shipping date, and I think they bundled the two orders together and sent them via UPS 2nd-day air to make up for the delay. But still! 3 days! To Alaska! This never happens. Mailing a package to Anchorage usually takes about that long, and it's in the same state!
... of course, since the books I'd ordered were research materials for the novel I'm putting off revising, I guess I just ran out of excuses. *g*
