Is emu sleeping right now? wake up, emu, wake up!
- I'd like emu to have one of those "sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to Jaline harassing me" moments.Jaline
- ...which is not something I wish upon most people, but these are drastic times.Jaline

These reviews make me feel better about it
http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Clea…- I've never ordered anything off of Amazon, despite them having lower prices on stuff.********
- http://www.amazon.co…
Some more people burned their eyes (like me)Jaline - People swear by it. For some reason I don't trust it.********
- I don't think I've ordered off of Amazon either. I find that Chapters (Canadian book store) has good deals too.Jaline
- I'm too much of a chicken to try my contacts on now, but they should be fine in the morning. I can't leave them in for too long.Jaline
- in = in the special container where the solution disinfects.Jaline
- hahaha, it's like the world's worst Christmas. Or best ... since you'll be able to see I guess.********
- If I can still see the computer in the morning I will post again, of course :)Jaline

You don't trust Amazon?
- Maybe it's not that I don't trust Amazon, it's just I don't trust one-stop shops.********
- Plus too many people I know swear by it. Whenever a lot of people I know like something, I immediately become suspect.********
- You're a curious dude.waterhouse
- you're a one-stop shop, (sport).********
- Maybe it's not that I don't trust Amazon, it's just I don't trust one-stop shops.

This talk of Amazon reminded me that i have a present that had not yet arrived for my wife from Amazon. i ordered it the Thurs before Christmas and while i was ordering it, Amazon said it wouldn't get here before Dec 26. That was fine with me. The following week would have worked.
Well, i called the next week because i got a notice that the company it was from hadn't shipped it yet. Called the company and they said that the item i wanted shipped directly from their production facility and that it was closed until the 5th. Not much i can do about it.
So i just checked and it's in transit
Shipment date: Jan 7th, 2009
Arrival date: Dec 31st, 2008So does anyone have a flux capacitor i can borrow so i can go back in time and sign for the thing?

Well, let's be clear. Amazon is a portal for many private resellers - many of whom aren't trustworthy. Unfortunately, Amazon corporate has fallen short in setting up a strong user satisfaction scorecard system. Otherwise, I've found that ordering through Amazon's warehouse system can be simpler than asking my neighborhood bookstore to special order an item for me.
- True. You have to be aware of those separate companies.Jaline
