A few days ago I ordered a book from Amazon with a one-day shipping option, which meant I had to pay a relatively high premium.  I ordered it in the evening, so I would have understood if it actually did not arrive the next day but the day after. However, because the book still has not come, I checked with Amazon and the expected shipping date is on April 28th!  I believe the original shipping date did show the day after the purchase, but at some point this information changed.

I am sure I can get the money I paid for shipping back, but I feel that since they did not send me a message warning me about the mass disparity in shipment dates, I should be compensated further.  Perhaps I should get the book for free or some Amazon credit.  I needed the book quickly, and now I am stuck without it. 

Do you think it's possible to ask for more than just the shipping price back?  How would you go about it?  What would YOU do?

 

I highly doubt they give you more than the shipping

it's definitely being sold by Amazon themselves, and not some third-party business trading on Amazon's website?

Amazon are too big to care about your book being delayed for a week or more, but these smaller businesses value every sale, if you complain nicely they might give you the book for free

They will probably tell you that they sent it NDA on the correct day and blame the carrier.
