Glasses are a poor example because they have to be customized for each customer. Did you really think that they had your prescription with your choice of lens coating in stock that they could just ship out to you next day?
- blhack 13y agoYes. Lenscrafters etc. have been doing 1 hour glasses since the 1990s.

- jaynos 13y agoThis isn't just a glasses phenomenon. I see it (or used to before I started buying only from Amazon) from all sorts of sellers. If I choose 1 or 2 day shipping, it should be going out the next day at the latest (if UPS already showed up today). The no questions asked return policy from Amazon is why I know buy shoes and clothing from them also.
