After reading the rave reviews for this product and downing a few glasses of wine, I finally decided that it was time to drop this wish list item into my shopping cart and make it a reality.
At checkout, I carefully selected my desired options, summoned
up every ounce of courage, and clicked ORDER.
Buyer’s remorse quickly set in. What was I doing? Was I
ready? Did I truly want this? But as soon as the confirmation e-mail popped up
in my inbox, I was ecstatic.
The description of this item states that it takes “nine months”
after the purchase date for it to arrive, so I prepared myself for the wait. I
checked in on the status messages of my order obsessively: “We have received your
order,” “Processing your order,” and then finally, “Preparing your order for
shipment.”
Nine months came and went and I was still sans package.
After calling Customer Service, I found out that the process is more like 10
months. What. The. Fuck.
Then one morning, I received the text: Your package is out for delivery.
