Beg pardon, folks? Whatever can you be "reviewing" that takes four days? You're waiting for HR to confirm my existence, perhaps? (Should I call Enrique and push things along?) Or perhaps you've sicced the Pinkertons on me? Is this long delay common? Shouldn't you have warned me about it? You can't be bothered to send a courtesy email?

I see lots of points of failure. Baen's Webscriptions site moves the Selection step to the purchase point, and makes the UnZIP step voluntary. That's a bit better, but both stores, to my mind, assume too much technical literacy on the part of their customers. Obviously that's what Amazon's Whispernet is intended to address.

There's no failure, here, and fairly often (including this time) I've picked up the package before Amazon gets around to notifying me that the package is "lost." Folks who use post office boxes for mailing address have deliberately traded one sort of convenience for another. The package was exactly where I expected it to be, and I picked it up with the rest of my mail.
