Yeah, that happens sometimes.

But not if the neighbors aren't home either. ;-)

    Yes, and it's usually the ladies that organise and buy them.  ;)

None of the shops we looked at had to sell them that way; in fact, it 
was only the pricier stuff that came like that.

Actually, last time I rescheduled a delivery, I typed in at 11PM the code 
off the card and they redelivered the next morning.

Of course, they wouldn't have needed to do that if they actually waited the 
30 seconds it takes me to get to the front door from my office on the other 
side of the house on the wrong floor.

Assuming the postal workers aren't also on lunch break at that time...

Interestingly, I checked the ship date on my domestic amazon 
order...June 2/3.  Heh.  I know I selected the free shipping, but is 
that really that much to explain a month's difference?
