They're actually doing much better with shipments.  They apparently add on possible delay time, and, now they're getting straightened out.  I do have an issue with the fact that using the regular web pages rather than the disabled page, you really do need to have more than one browser.  I may experiment with the mobile version to see how much better that one is.

I've heard it is.

It's enough that their ware houses are caotic enough. I wish I had kept an 
article about that, that I read way before this happened. It concerned the 
working conditions.
