You know.. Back in the day, you'd order something from a catalogue, and it’d take 4-6 weeks for delivery. And it was 4-6 weeks of expectation, and you really had to plan ahead if you needed something before a certain deadline.

Today, everyone promises you it'll be there tomorrow. Which is great, when it works. like.. 50% of the time it does, your thing arrives quick, on the back of some poor abused driver who isnt allowed to stop to pee, and it even arrives in decent shape. but the other 50% of the time, it either arrives in a box that's unrecognizable as a geometric shape, and your product MIGHT be ok inside. Or it was packaged in such a way that it rolled around inside of the box so much that your two or three items inside destroyed each other like they were put into a rock tumbler. And then theres the "delivery update" that takes that next day delivery, and pushes it out until next tuesday, but hey, we tried.

Sometimes I miss the low-expectations of 4-6 weeks. At least then when things arrived in 3 weeks you were pleasantly surprised, instead of your product so rushed that it arrives smashed to powder.
