10 minus 3 does not equal EXPRESS

So my order finally shipped on the 3rd. Supposedly they upgraded my shipping. I've been patiently tracking it... my receipt still says that I have 4-8 day ground shipping by the lovely United States Postal Service. However, according to the return email (see previous entry), I was assured that my shipping would be upgraded. When I click on tracking it pulls up Fed Ex to track the order. I just was tracking my shipment to see how far it has made since going from Illinois to Ohio. It hasn't left Ohio. My estimated home arrival? FEBRUARY 10TH.

Guess what? I learned in first grade that 10-3 = 7. SEVEN DAYS.

Guess what?

They're. Getting. A. Letter.

OTSBH saga continues

Sooo my bras that I ordered last Monday are still in Lane Bryant's warehouse. Laaaame. (Un)luckily for them I was rather cranky this morning so I decided to send an email to them. It is as follows:

Lane Bryant Customer Service
P.O. Box 27586
Tucson, AZ 85726-6886

RE: Order # 86827804
Reference # '090202-000050'

Dear Sirs:

I have been checking the status of my order for the past week. I ordered it on Monday, 1/26/2009, during my lunch break and according to your website it would pull that day if ordered before 3pm. Today when I checked on my order, it still said processing but when i clicked on the "View" button this is what came up:

ORDER 86827804
date:

To my knowledge that would indicate that you have cancelled my order. At what point in time was I going to be notified? When I can no longer wear my other bras because they are ripping or the under-wires are coming out? Do you realize that a size 38H IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ANY STORE???? Please respond and ensure me that my order will arrive at my doorstep no later than Wed, 2/4/2009, which is 8 business days from the time I placed the order (since that's the shipping option I chose - 4 to 8 business days).

Sincerely,

Amber ************

To which they kindly responded:
