You ever get one of those feelings that an Amazon shipping disaster is unfolding…

…even as you’re watching, but nobody’s listening to your polite warning? Short version: I got that con in two weeks, I ordered books to sell for it a week ago, they’re saying the books will show up next week. So far, so good. A week is fine, it’s plenty of time for me to prep the books for transport to the con.

The problem is, the order pages show that one book out of the shipment is in transit, and will be showing up on my doorstep by the target delivery date. It’s currently wandering up and down the Eastern Seaboard. The rest of them ‘have yet to be shipped’ – but are also supposed to show up by the target delivery date. This is either an interesting artifact of the just-in-time delivery process, or stuff’s blowing up real good.

Yay?

PS Amazon chat told me the books were printed, at least. I’m not sure I can quite trust the guy who assured me that, but I also screenshotted said assurance, so I guess ‘trust’ isn’t really a necessary part of the equation.
