So I learned that Neighborhoodies has launched a music service, where they sell CDs for no more than $11.99 with free shipping. Wow, I say, that's awesome! In fact, the New Pornographers' new album, "Twin Cinema," is available for pre-order (comes out Aug. 23, the day it would be shipped) for only $9.99. What a great deal, 10 bucks, free shipping! Then as I'm going through the checkout process, I see the terms:

Standard Shipping (Item Ships by Monday, Sep 14) $0.00
Rush Shipping (Item Ships by Tuesday, Aug 27) $20.00
Presidential Deluxe - CEO Michael De Zayas will hand-deliver your item (Item Ships by Friday, Aug 30) $350.00

The presidential deluxe is funny, but seriously- it may take over three weeks just to get the CD, and my only other option is $20 for it to take a week instead? A three week wait isn't worth the 2 or so dollars it would cost for me to go to Reckless and buy it there instead of on the day it comes out. I guess I'm willing to pay for a bit of instant gratification.
