I ordered a GPS unit from Amazon ahead of a trip to Seattle. But then the estimated arrival date slipped to the day after departure.
Dilema. On one hand it seemed like the USPS should be able to deliver the parcel in time. On the other, I really wanted the unit to help navigate a tight itinerary.
So…just to be sure that I got the delivery, and at Amazon’s suggestion, I ordered a second GPS and shucked out $20 for overnight delivery, knowing that I’d have to pay $5 to return one of the units.
Wouldn’t you know it, but both packages arrived today. At least I was free of nagging worry for one day. At a cost of $25.
UPDATE: Amazon not only refunded the full price of the GPS, but they refunded the express shipping charges. The price of certainty? $5.
