Ticked: Paid for my 360 on 5/27 but the seller didn't ship until 5/30. Via UPS Ground. And the tracking says "Scheduled Delivery: Monday, 06/04/2012, By End of Day" so now I won't get to play it over the weekend because UPS Ground sucks and doesn't deliver on Saturdays apparently. :x

This has always been the case. Same with Fedex since they're aimed at business delivery. You can get Saturday delivery, but you really pay for it. Heck, you pay extra for home delivery as well.

what sucks is if they said "it's at the UPS store on Saturday" I'd just go pick it up on Saturday instead of waiting for Monday. :roll:

That sucks balls man. Sounds like if the item was shipped when you paid for it, you may have received it today.

in fairness I paid on Sunday and Monday was a holiday. But it looks like if it shipped on Tuesday instead of Wednesday I'd be receiving it TODAY. :x

What is the ebay seller's advertised shipping? If they said "ships same day, within 1 business day,..." i'd contact them. Let 'em know you put in a higher bid on that item because:

A) You wanted a 360 by the weekend (for the free xbla, for a party, for whatever)
B) Of the many 360's up that day, this one had the best chance to be here based upon their shipping policy
