Kinda off topic but I used to get this all the time from sellers on Ebay and it would p*ss me off big time. In a way I understood, it saved sellers time and gas money. But when I would sell something I would make sure it shipped within 24hrs and they had a tracking number to check. Now I am spoiled with Amazon Prime and 2day shipping.Scoville DeVille said:I don't get this policy "ships the following Monday". When I order from Pepper Lover, she ships the next day and I get my order in three days or less, and I live on the left coast, all the way across the country.
