Ilokano Dictionary and Amazon.com

I ordered an Ilokano dictionary last week on Thursday, theIlocano Dictionary and Grammar: Ilocano-English, English-Ilocano (Pali Language Texts: Philippines) by Carl Rubino, from Amazon.com. I had it shipped overnight for about $16.00 USD more. I should receive it by Friday, per Amazon. Well, BS to that...

After putting in the tracking number in UPS, I found out that I'd be receiving it later than I thought... Not the next day, but Monday. So, I'll just say that I was/am confused about what Amazon says is the shipping window. Even to this day, Amazon still says that I was supposed to have it on Friday. It's still in "transit".

So, who should I get mad at? I'll start with myself... for getting my hopes up. And, secondly, to Amazon. Here it is Monday and my book is still in "transit". Your site still says that I was supposed to receive it on Friday.

Now, this is why I don't like shopping for books online. I have a Barnes and Noble right across the street from me! So, if the dictionary were there, I'd buy it from them and saved a wad of cash for shipping. Besides, I'd have it NOW. Not on this virtual Friday which has become a Monday.
