Where’s my stuff indeed

Dear Amazon.com,

It’s good to see that my package is in the US and that further, it’s traveled all the way from Jersey City to the US. The knowledge both that my books & CD’s are somewhere in our fine country and that Jersey City is somehow outside it is really reassuring. Anyway, what I’d really like to know is, how come it takes nine days to travel from Jersey City to the Upper West Side? Will someone be swimming up the Hudson with my box strapped to his back? Because if so, I now understand why everything in there is always coated with industrial-strength shrink wrap.

See you in eight days!
Love,
Becca

PS, I’ve attached a homemade pseudo-Photoshop-esque illustration in case your swimmer lost his map.
