Dear Amazon

if you dispatched my package on the 9th of January 2006, it's extremely unlikely that it will have arrived on the 7th of January 2006.

See also last year, when my package dispatched in february spectacularly failed to arrive on the 10th of January as promised.

Next time, I'll order from Play.com (which, it turns out, did have my book and would have cost 4.5 less anyway)

yours,
Disgruntled.

ps dear self, next time buy it somewhere else.
