Weekend Reading-- Amazing Spider-Man Gauntlet Book 2

62462comic_storystory_full-0219180..jpg

So last week, with a Border's 30% coupon, I ordered Amazing Spider-Man: The Gauntlet Book 2 from them online and wanted it to ship to the store because it was free shipping, I'm cheap like that, and I pass the store every day.  Oh, and Borders' website said that the book wouldn't be carried instore (or at least wasn't carried instore at the time I bought it.)

So today, there's a 40% coupon.  I checked the shipping notice for the book and, as of this morning, Fed Ex was claiming that the book was at the local post office and it would be another 2-3 days before the book was going to be received at the store.

So at lunch, I went over to Borders, thinking that the book wasn't going to be there and just to see if there was anything else to use a coupon on.  Well, guess what?  Spider-Man Gauntlet V2 was on the shelf.  But I wasn't going to buy it because my book is at the local post office and would be here next week.  At least that was what Fed-Ex was telling me around 11:30am.

No sooner do I get back to work than my phone rings.  "This is your Borders store.  The book you ordered is now in and can be picked up anytime."

Screw you, Fed Ex.
