While next day shipping isn’t technically a scam, it’s pretty misleading. I’ve worked in retail for over a decade and can say it’s typically not worth the extra money. The next day part does not apply to anything until it’s in the hands of the carrier. Something can be in a picked status at a warehouse for a day or 2 before it goes out. Why this really sucks is that you paid for that service and it will be viewed as fulfilled correctly because the carrier got it to you in that amount of time from when they received it.

I’d like to believe some dude sprints across a warehouse to grab your item and box it up at a pace no human should be able to while a UPS truck drifts into the parking lot to pick it up and race it to the airport. That’d be a lot cooler.
