    This complaint should be for Amazon.  We just fulfill the orders we are given.  Each listing has many different sellers with all different prices and shipping terms.  This particular listing has 8 sellers pricing from $80 to $130 with all different shipping terms.  Usually the cheaper price is the cheaper/longer shipping terms, higher price is usually more expensive/quicker shipping terms.  These shipping times were anywhere from same day to 3 weeks out.  Many options.  For whatever reason, you chose us for $109 with 2 to 3 day shipping. I don't know your thought process, I can't help what you click on.  You checked out with that price and shipping terms clearly on the final checkout screen.  We shipped quick as you stated and fully fulfilled our obligation perfectly.  If you think ****** changed the terms on you after you checked out, you should contact them.  This website is clearly not ours.
