Stupidest word ever.. Every time I send in an order that says "approximately" 7 days, 10 days, 20 days, etc it never gets done early or in that amount of days! I'm sick of it... Friday was day 7 on my renewal submission and no grades once again!! Way to go PSA..

    Seems the more threads there are the more waits occur?

    Maybe everyone should do a reverse negative...

    Reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd ask my mother when we were going to eat.
    The answer was always the same. "When it's ready."

    approximately  

    Definition: nearly
    Synonyms: about, almost, around, ballpark figure, bordering on, circa, close to, closely, comparatively, generally, in the ballpark, in the neighborhood of, in the region of, in the vicinity of, just about, loosely, more or less, most, much, not far from, not quite, proximately, relatively, roughly, upwards of, very close

    Antonyms: accurately, clearly, definitely, exactly, precisely


    So as you can see, "approximately 7 days" does not mean 7 days.

    I agree that it has been a slightly above-average week in that regard.

    Are we there yet?
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.
