52 minutes translates into about 100 miles round trip.

Because most likely you are a suburban jackass that drives an SUV
or pickup truck, that 100 miles will translate into about $25.00
of gasoline.

What was the cost of the Amazon freight?

But Amazon cannot necessarily be blamed.  Their shipping contractors
are responsible for the deliveries.

It is not uncommon for packages to be stuck for weeks, months, or
forever at a US Postal regional center and Amazon's suppliers use
the USPS a lot.

I ordered a product that became stuck for several weeks.  After
contacting the supplier I was sent a replacement product at no
cost.  Then, after about 2 months, the original shipment finally
arrived.  I got two products for the price of one.

Another time I ordered a memory stick.  The human packer at the
distribution plant must have gotten distracted because he placed
TWO memory sticks in the box.  These were relatively expensive
memory sticks.

Did I do my proper civic duty and return the item that was sent
to me by mistake?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
