The same thing happened to me, Kathy. I placed an online order with Amazon in the afternoon with free shipping. I wasn't expecting it for about 3-4 days. It arrived the next morning. I was shocked. As far as Dell is concerned, I have bought many computers from them and have been happy with their service. But I never got one the next day. :wave:

I ordered something from Staples.com a few months ago and it was delivered that afternoon! :lol: It was a desk floor mat that was carried only online. But it HAD to have come from the store that's located only about a 1/2 mile from my house. There's just no other explanation. But I still can't get over it. Must have been a slow day at Staples!

Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max all have delivery trucks at a lot of their stores. If they get orders in your area that make it worthwhile they'll deliver ASAP.
 
So Monday morning at 10:00 am I ordered a new monitor online for Jes for Christmas hoping it would get here in time. Tuesday morning at 9:00 am I get a call from UPS that they are at my house trying to leave a delivery. I had also ordered a new computer desk last week, so I figured that was it. I told the guy just to leave the box outside my gate. He said he couldn't, he had to have a signature. I said for a desk? He said no, it was a package from Dell? I said are you kidding me, I just ordered it yesterday. He said "are you serious"? I said yes. Anyway, I called my neighbor who is a life savior and asked her to please go and sign for it. She did and all was well. But, my question is: How is this freaking possible? Less than 24 hours after the order was placed it was at my house? I have ordered Dell computers in the past and they have always been delivered within 3 days. But less than 24 hours???? I was amazed.

Just thought I would share. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannekuh, Happy Kwanza, and all the other Holiday's for everyone I might have left out. ;-):wave:

That's cool. All that clean living is paying off. :cool:
