I ordered a part. I had many shipping options that were all roughly the same price. I chose one that said "2-day" and "Priority". I had a reasonable expectation to think I'd get it 2 days after it shipped. Especially so since the online tracker showed an expected delivery date "2 days" after ship date. My pissyness is both reasonable and just.
Kinda like when I order a "Large Pizza", I have a reasonable expectation that I'm getting both a "Large", and a "Pizza". I wouldn't call them up and ask for a "Large Pizza" if I wanted a "Small Coke". Words are kinda funny like that when they actually mean something.
