In my experience, it never pays to get the faster shipping with Amazon.com. I recently made two purchases online. With the first, I went with free shipping. With the second, because I wanted to receive the package sooner, I chose next-day mail. Guess which one shipped right away? Guess which one isn’t scheduled to ship for almost another week? I think Amazon doesn’t like to be rushed. If you feign patience and say, “Send it to me whenever,” they will reward you. But they’ll punish you if you actually want next-day to mean next-day.
