Granted. After a day it was scheduled to arrive, it does not. You contact the shipper, and they say your thing will indeed be arriving shortly. Out of politeness, you say that it's no big issue. After a week, still nothing. You begin to suspect something is amiss, but you contact the shipper again, and they insist it will arrive on time, and you politely wait. A month goes by. You again contact the shipper who ensures you that it will arrive on time, and again you politely wait. A year goes by, and the shipper provides the same reassuring statement, and you continue to politely wait. Two years. Three years. Four years. After about five years, you have become a futile doormat from all of the waiting, and will accept any time that it arrives as "on time". Also, the world turned into a Mad Max-esque postapocalyptic wasteland in the meantime, so that's something.
I wish there were 4 more types of pastry in the world that are really good and that no-one had ever heard about before.
