> I mean, at nearly $40 for shipping and something like...

As you noted in your original post, next-day shipping is a shipping method so expensive that Amazon only offers it in select locations. An honest reader notes that three-to-seven day shipping is 4 USD, and the one-to-four day rate is 8 USD.

> You're 21 miles from Spokane.

No, I'm zero miles from San Francisco. But all sorts of places offer effectively-next-day shipping to SF, so I had to find somewhere by dragging around on Google Maps.

> I'm over 120+ north from Syracuse, NY.

Okay, is

  Beaver River Air Field, Eagle Bay, NY 13331

sufficiently rural for you? That's ~200 miles from Syracuse as the crow drives and about 90 as the crow flies. If not, how about

  9340 Long Pond Rd, Croghan, NY 13327

or

  Forest Lodge Sports Club, Honnedaga Lake Rd, Cold Brook, NY 13324

?

All of these are still the same price to next-day, one-to-four-day, or three-to-seven-day ship.

I'm glad you've wasted that much time trying to argue the shipping factor and I'm glad you get to brag even more that you can afford to live in San Francisco.

I'll take some of your money now, please. I'm scraping together what I can in what some people called "America's Siberia" and am forced to take care of elderly family and have zero escape plan except for working a horribly underpaid IT job here :)

So it is as I said from the outset:

  > Amazon won't deliver one to me for at least six days at the earliest, based on their rural delivery estimate.
  
  That sounds like an Amazon problem. 

But perhaps even 4 USD is too much for you to pay for faster shipping than what Amazon can bother to provide you. If that's the case, then I offer my condolences.
