If it's Tuesday it must be Britain...?

I don't even notice these "if you want it by [date whatever] order it RIGHT NOW" notices in Amazon - but this one, from today's UK site, caught my eye:

The Embers of Heaven by Alma Alexander (Paperback - 4 Sep 2006)
Buy new: £6.99 £5.59 39 Used & new from £2.75
You save: £1.40 (20%)
Get it by Tuesday, April. 17, if you order in the next 64 hours and 45 minutes.

Folks, it's THURSDAY, April 19. But if you order this book within the next 64 hours and 45 minutes, you can apparently get it the day before yesterday...

Wow, Amazon UK must ship via TARDIS. :)

I had no idea it was a time-travel book!

Amazon shipping is *fast*!

Or maybe they mean the next time April 17 is a Tuesday.

I've been meaning to check the shipping costs on that one so I can order it. I wonder if they'll give me free shipping when I complain I didn't get the book by April 17, as promised.
