I ordered a book hoping to get it before a certain date.
It is published in England so it was ordered from a vendor with "ships from Illinois" in the description.
Imagine my dismay when last week the shipping notice tells me it will be here in a few weeks as it is being shipped internationally.
I do not know if there is a way to discover these things before purchase since I do not buy through Amazon very often.
I guess my only recourse is to let my dissatisfaction be known through feedback.
