So how long does it really take these guys to get an order done?
I ordered my wife a Kindle yesterday morning about 8am EST.

I setup the trial for Amazon Prime so I could do 2 day shipping.
My order is just now showing "Shipping Soon"....

The ETA for delivery is the 20th... So it's going to take them almost a week to get my order ready and ship it?
 
Hm it's usually within a day or so. I just ordered a Zalman fanmate 2 from them on Sunday. I got it about an hour ago? I also ordered something off of them on Thursday or something and to my surprise, it came on Saturday via Fedex Saturday delivery.
 
in my experience, the day they tell you it's supposed to arrive is the day it arrives, i'm a prime member myself and i often order things on a wednesday so i can get it friday delivered to my house when i'm home early from work.
 
When it goes to shipping soon it almost always ships same day or next day for me. You should get it in plenty of time for Christmas if that's what it is for.
 
Amazon is very prompt on shipping and very accurate with their delivery dates. The only problem I have had with delivery is UPS not doing Saturday delivery to my location. And Amazon refunded the extra $ I paid for it. If there is going to be a delay in shipment it is usually noted on the item page. I am a prime member also and I have gotten my moneys worth so far.
 
normally it ships for me the day I order, if I order earlier enough in the day.
 
As long as it's not a pre-order, then they always seem sharp. Pre-orders though.... it's never guaranteed to be in stock when day of release arrives.
 
During checkout, did you select '2-day shipping'?

Yeah almost even did the $4 next day...

It's still says shipping soon... By I guess even though I selected 2 day shipping they planned on taking there time getting it out the door....
