Stupid Amazon
I got a little bit excited when I discovered that you could buy complete seasons of the Mary Tyler Moore Show on DVD... much like my collections of Friends, Family Guy, Everybody Loves Raymond and That 70s Show. OK, I'm kind of obsessed with owning DVDs of various TV shows and then watching them when I'm bored, too.
Anyhow, I found seasons 1, 2, and 3 of MTM on Amazon.com for only about $30 each. So I decided I'd start out my MTM DVD collection with the complete season 3 (I decided to go with that one since it was on sale for $20).
To get free shipping, I had to have it sent via U.S. Postal Service snail mail - which I figured was no big deal. I'd still have it in a few days. Well that was over a week ago and still no Mary Tyler Moore DVDs!!!! I'm starting to get very upset with the post office. I can't track it because it's going through the stupid post office, and they don't track regular mail. But Amazon said it was supposed to be here on Saturday.
Every day I watch out my window for the mail truck and then after it leaves I run downstairs to the mailbox and anxiously check for the DVDs. It's starting to drive me crazy. I can't handle this disappointment much longer. AHHHHHH!!!!

Did they send it "Media Mail?" If they did, say sayonara to it for at least half a month. I made that mistake once when I ordered scripts for a show we were doing - they took forever! I had to have poor Gene type up the entire script (quite illegally), just so we'd have something we could rehears with (and just in case we never received the scripts). Sorry to continually rain on your parade, however it's spring, maybe it's like April showers - it'll bring May Mary Tyler Moore Flowers :-P
Love ya!

It said it went USPS ... I don't know if there is a separate classification for media mail within the USPS. I hope it's just taking a long time, because I'm kind of worried it might have gotten ripped off because if the box wouldn't fit into my mailbox, it would've gotten left sitting in front of my mailbox in the lobby of the building here ... and I know how people are anxious to steal MTM DVDs. So that's what I'm kind of afraid of now.
