Default Do you also have a love/hate relationship with Amazon?

Ok.. I got lured again by Amazon.. I had to order some Performax
casters. Amazon had them 10% off which made them competitive with other
websites. They also had $25 off $150.. So, since the casters were $96,
I figure I could get about $50 worth of stuff for $25.

Well, of course now since there's so many cross sellers on Amazon, it
takes a long time to find stuff that qualifies for free shipping. Ended
up getting some work gloves and drill bits. Also got a small level.

I put my order in a couple days ago.. Expected delivery date is Dec
30.. LOL. I know to always expect a snail's pace from them, and I guess
I'm ok with not moving the sander for 2 months. At least not bothered
enough to cancel the order, but stuff like this definitely doesn't make
them my prefered supplier. After waiting 12 weeks to get some Freud
router bits from them, I never order anything from them that I need in
a hurry.

Yeah, I know, I should've gotten up off my lazy ass and drove to a
local store, but that's 45 minutes each way for me and I've been very
short on "Free time" lately.
