That was quick...

On Sunday, I decided that I'd better use a Barnes and Noble gift card that I'd been sitting on for a couple of months, and ordered some DVDs from bn.com. They emailed me a notice that my order shipped this morning. Just now, engaging in my customary sport of "let's pointlessly check the online tracking info", I discovered that the package was allegedly delivered at noon today.

If they can routinely ship to me that fast (and I chose the *free* shipping option, not a pricier option), then I might have to rethink my loyalty to amazon.com.

But they just don't have the used catalog that Amazon has... which is much too crucial a function for me to switch :-)

True. And they seem to have a smaller selection of small-press stuff than amazon.com. So they probably won't win my unswerving loyalty. But they'll probably be getting more of my business.
