For the Love of Sex and the City..
I love Half.com.  I shop there, I sell there, I lurk there.  I am also, like, IN LOVE with Sex and the City.  I have searched many a Borders Books and Barnes & Noble for this glorious book by Candace Bushnell.  But alas, they do not carry it and I am cheap so I turned to Half.com.  On February 4th, I placed my order.  I think it was supposed to be coming from somewhere up north like Boston or New Jersey.  Today is March 6th.  This glorious book has yet to grace my mailbox.  In a moment of Carrie Bradshaw awe, I asked myself, Will it ever arrive?  I contacted the seller who claims to have "Already sent you an email because you asked for it fast, so I sent it first class."  I say, Bullshit.  I NEVER emailed her, nor did I ever ask her to "send it fast."  As impatient as I am, I understand that when things are mailed it takes a few days.  My estimated arrival date was between Feb. 14 and Feb. 26.  So I sent her a reply back calling her bluff telling her that if I don't recieve it by the end of the month I will file a claim and request a full refund.  She responds by saying that I don't need to result to threats and that she'll be glad to refund my money if I don't recieve the book and all she's doing is trying to make the world a better place by giving it books.  I didn't threaten her; I followed Half.com protocol.  If she slacked and forgot to mail it, fine.  I understand.  I slack too.  If she totally misplaced my order, fine.  I understand.  I forget things too.  But BE HONEST ABOUT IT.  Don't try to jerk me around.  I'm giving her til the end of this month, then I'm filing a claim and hope to get my money back.  It's not about my $4.72 or the book, it's about principle.  What is the world coming to when you can't get your Carrie fix?
