All my Christmas shopping for everyone, is in one big order from american eagle.. Ordered it this last Friday, paid extra for UPS 2nd day air...and I have a gut feeling that it's not gunna come today.. I got bad vibes from the numerous shitty reviews on various forums.
I should of ordered it earlier i suppose, but moneys a whole other issue...
So, Let's add to my negative vibes, tell me your absolute worst shipping/ online ordering experience?
Happy holidays y'all, may your Christmas be green with little red hairs, and smelly like a skunk;)

That sucks. Some of these places take a while, I ordered off Levi's I think it took a week to ship. Of course it bills instantly  Expedited shipping isn't worth it IMO in most circumstances, I work in shipping and we send some ground if they are close enough but bill them as 2nd days or whatever.

UPS or fed ex can't remember which there was a story on news here about how behind they are this year. Overnight means two weeks apparently.

I got utterly fucked on an overnight cellphone battery delivery by UPS. Promised Friday, delivered Monday. They are as reliable as coke dealers.

I got a secret for you. When you order something from these big stores and have it shipped, the shipping company actually does everything. They literally have massive warehouses at the airport hub containing the products you've ordered. They box them up and stick them on a plane.

I ordered a pretty spoon from etsy 2 weeks ago, the dude emailed back a week later saying he only just shipped it because he was in the hospital and it was guaranteed by Christmas. Now it's Christmas eve and it's still not here

What pisses me off is ordering something from Amazon, and selecting '2nd day' or 'one day' shipping.....then the seller sits on the order for a week and ships it 2 day. They screw you because they say 'it can take up to 3 business days to complete the order...'

It seems like they have to go out of their way to do it slower. Take order. Find item. Stick in box. Put on plane. This should take 2 days max to get anywhere. Any longer, and they have to add extra steps to slow it down.

Still, you all are spoiled brats. There was a time when if you wanted to give someone a nice wool sweater, you'd have to slaughter the sheep, harvest their wool and ribs (to fashion into needles). Then you knit the sweater, chop down a tree to make a box and wrapping paper. Then you had to walk to the person's hut to deliver the gift and experience the disappointment when they say "oh.. Thanks. Another sweater."

Yeah, it kinda seems like false advertising. They ought to include a disclaimer saying something such as "we may take up to X hours to ship your order".

When your ordering for a whole family, it's an inconvenience.. Especially when I'm playing santa for a friend this year.

I love hearing people bitch and complain about shipping. I am a UPS driver so this shit really does amuse me. No one cares that us drivers start at 8am and get off sometimes at 10pm at night delivering your fucking amazon shit. Its Christmas eve and I had to work until 8:30 tonight. I'm not mad about that because its my job and all but it pisses me off when people bitch and complain because they were to unorganized to do their xmas shopping more than a week beforehand and it comes late.
Reasons your shit is late... 1. You were retarded and waited too long to order. Xmas is the same day every year. Try not waiting until the 20th to order shit?
2. You ordered it past the pick up time. So when you ordered it "friday" it was really Mondays ship date because you waited too long for it to ship out that same day. So 2 day shipping puts it there on Thursday pal.
3. Its winter, weather delays happen, deal with it.
4. You bitch too much so they figured you should wait to get your shit. I personally think this is the real reason.

This is 100% false, for UPS at least. We dont do shit but pick up and ship packages. We arent a shitty retail store packaging up shit. Places like Amazon might have hubs in the airport but all UPS doesnt pack up a thing

Shipping times don't mean shit right now, its almost Christmas. Any other time of the year UPS/USPS Priority are both really good with their estimated delivery times. 9 out of 10 times you will get it when they say it, and if you live in a populated area its usually a lot better than that. Also, American Eagle is shitty. You might as well have bought everyone a gift card to IHOP.
