I can buy coffee beans from a store 70 km away and it takes 4 days to arrive via normal post. Or I can buy from another roaster 3,000 km away and it arrives 24 hours after shipping. It’s the same postal organisation sending both packages, the difference is I pay $15 for a courier in the fast delivery case. The other supplier has recently waived postal charges.
Getting low on real coffee beans, my preferred supplier is 3,000 km to the north (still in the same country). I’ve just placed an order with them, typically such orders take between 23 & 26 hours to arrive after they are shipped. It’s 17:45 here, 16:45 at coffeeworks.com.au - logic suggests my package will ship tomorrow morning & it’ll arrive the following day.
Bought a paperback years ago, it got wet & couldn't be salvaged. Found the same title on Kindle Unlimited, then decided to buy it. Word of warning: return the Kindle Unlimited version BEFORE purchasing. I didn't then found the transaction had been reversed, I'd been issued with a refund.
Now the Amazon website wasn't letting me download it to the Kindle. So I downloaded it to Kindle for Mac, traced the download location & added the title via USB. I have it on the Kindle now.
