Hiking in Lapland

It starts to look like I made one bad mistake on my Amazon purchase process and its going to be, relatively speaking, expensive one to fix unless some miracles happen. I ordered book two weeks before I need it, so I didn’t bother to pay too much attention to shipping speed, since it wasn’t like they would ship it from west coast of USA.

As the days pass by and there is still no note from Itella about delivery, I finally went to check what the heck is going on with my order and then I noticed note ’shipping method: standard 4-14 business days’ and there went my good mood out of the window. To make things worse, there isn’t any kind of tracking code with it, so its impossible to check whether there is any chance for it to come on time or whether its time to accept loses and go to local bookstore to buy it.

At least now I will remember to double check delivery times and assume worse, if I will one day buy more items from Amazon.
