That 1 time in 10 is still a factor, though...

Many retailers still operate on the old expectation that when you order something, you'll get it in "6-8 weeks", which nowadays, is frankly ridiculous!

I ordered a crib from a local Canadian retailer, and the thing arrived after THREE MONTHS, and I had to pick up the box from the warehouse myself!

You have to give Amazon props for their logistics systems, they've gotten it down to an art. If I were to order the same crib from Amazon, it would've been at my door in 2 days' time.

Might've been a fake crib, though heh.

Given that a fake crib can actually kill a baby, this is one of those times where I put aside my convenience and drive to a real brick and mortar store and buy the crib myself.

Your comment implies that a real crib wouldn't be able to do the same.
