Amazon's site is very slooooooooow today

Consider it my own fault. Yes I waited until the 11th hour to buy something from amazon.com. I heard on the news today (KYW-1060AM) that today is the last day for free shipping before Christmas Day 2008. Finally, I was able to place the order after minutes upong minutes of spinning browsers icons. The order is expected to arrive Dec 24. I plan to keep us posted on how reliable Amazon's shipping is. Usually I do get their products in a few days. We'll see what happens this time.
