I still haven't gotten my 4GB thumbdrive from OfficeMax. No cancellation notice either, and the order status page still says shipped. May just be following this advice in a couple of days...

I got a replacement shaved ice maker once, after UPS showed it was delivered and I hadn't gotten it. The replacement arrived within a few days. Then the original arrived, six weeks later. I guess it was just sitting somewhere in a UPS office all that time.The potential headache with this OfficeMax thing is that they might just RETROACTIVELY cancel my order. I can totally see them saying, "Well, it was shipped to you and got lost, but we didn't want to ship it to you anyway, so now we'll refund your credit card."
