UPS is a bunch of LIARS  
Okay, someone explain the logic for me:

I placed an order with Newegg.com for a new headset. I even paid the extra shipping to get it in two days.

My question is: Why is my headset in Nashville, with the estimated delivery date the 12th? Considering I ordered it on the seventh, that is five days in transit when I payed for it to take two.

EDIT: This was spell checked just to make Sweetdragon happy. SEE, THE BABY JESUS CAN STOP CRYING NOW.

PAID! PAID!
Contact NewEgg and yell at 'em a little. Usually companies will refund the shipping charge.

Ordered on the 7th usually means it ships as of the 8th. The 12th is still within the two business day shipping range, since you didn't pay extra for Saturday delivery. So it's still on time, dude.

What time on the 7th did you order it?

Yeah, I picked up on that, too. But is "payed" as valid as "paid"? I'ma have to Google that.

My search indicates that the word has historically been used only in the case of "paying out" rope. Though now it seems to also be accepted in the tense in which you used it. Point for Will?
