marcicat | wait, really?

Waaaaaaay back at the end of May, I ordered some stuff online. It was a promotional offer, so it was a good deal, but the site was all ‘we’ll try to get this to you within two weeks, but it could take as long as five weeks, so unless you haven’t received anything by June 30th, don’t bother contacting us.’ (I mean, that’s paraphrased, but yeah, pretty much.)

And of course I was all ‘haha, this is the golden age of internet shopping; nothing takes five weeks!’ And then, of course, nothing happened for a while. Well, I say nothing.
They pre-authed my credit card after two weeks, and then it sat there long enough to drop off again.

Yesterday my card was pre-authed again and actually charged. This morning — TRACKING INFO. It’s on the way! I am both delighted and the tiniest bit suspicious (given that nothing about this has been easy so far) that something will go awry. WE SHALL SEE.
