My monitor was supposed to be delivered on the 24th. It will not arrive until the 27th. Huge let down by UPS, because I had to spend the holidays with my family instead of staring at 144hz of beauty! </sarcasm>
I would imagine a spike in the amount of Amazon Prime memberships increased this week due to console purchases. My first experience with Amazon Prime's Instant Video automatically got me to shell out my credit card information for movies on my child's Wii U. I have now completely cut the cord on my cable broadcasting. $40/yr Amazon, $95.88/yr Netflix, $95.88/yr Hulu Plus, totaling $231.76 vs my yearly cable television bill of $900/yr (with an extra unmentioned $120 in random fees/taxes).

Try instead: "My gift to my niece was suppose to be delivered by the 24th. It will not arrive until the 27th, but her family flies back home on the evening of the 26th. Now I have to wait for it to be delivered, reship it myself at personal expense, and cannot watch her open it."
Believe it or not, reliable package delivery during Christmas actually is a big deal to consumers...

This year I signed up for a free 30 day trial of Prime so that I could skip on the cost of shipping for Christmas. I will cancel it before the trial period ends. Last year my wife did the same thing on her account.
So I would be curious how many of those are trial memberships, and what the statistics are after 30-60 days once all of those trials expire.
