Early October, I had dinner with a friend and told her about a book I really liked. After I got home, I checked Amazon.com, found the book, ordered it to be shipped to her, and told her it was on its way. That was on October 6th.
I wondered why I didn’t hear from her about getting the book, but an email from Amazon on October 24th – that’s 18 days later, said:
