Whatever they can ship USPS will come faster. It's basically like putting something in the mail. If you order something that needs to be shipped UPS, or Fedex, it will take longer because they hold the items to bulk ship. If they have to get the item from another place, like a wholesaler, it will also take longer. I'm not sure the holidays affect them that much. They've got thousands of people packing boxes. Trucks still drive. More if necessary.

You can use the tracking number, and track it from UPS/USPS website. However, mine updates on Amazon around the same time. That's strange. Try using the tracking # if there is one, on the shipping company's website.

hehe...thought so. I guess they send so much stuff at once, they get a discount.

Also, I forgot one more thing. If you live like forever away from an Amazon warehouse, it's obviously going to take longer to get your packages since they ship via ground. Fortunately, for me, my item was sent from only about 60 miles away from me. They're always going to give you a date longer then it's actually going to take. There's a fine line between being pissed off that your package is late, and happy that it's early. Like 2 days. They'd rather you be happy that your package is early. I bet if you look KBS, your package was sent out. Let me know as I'm curious!

Here's what I believe happens when you use Super Saver Shipping. I ordered 4 things from amazon recently. It told me it was going to be here in like 2 weeks, just like you all say. 3 of the things mailed in 2 days, because they were via USPS (said it was to give me speedier service). The last thing has yet to mail. However, i think if i ordered on a Wednesday, or Thursday, instead of Sunday, the shipment would have come all in one box, on Monday, or Tuesday. I think this is because they send so much stuff at one time, and on Friday, late, that it saves them money. Coincidently, The last day to use Super Saver Shipping, in order to get your items before Christmas, is the same day they started preparing my last item for shipping, today. I bet they will send it off late today...with everyone else's stuff. Amyers, sounds like you ordered something that wasn't in Amazon's stock, and that's why it was taking forever. You've gotta check that out when you shop there.
