Attached below is a e-mail string from Snapfish customer support. I am unable to get any tracking information on my shipment, which is arriving late vs the quoted lead time, along with getting a brush off answer of "Your item will arrive in time for Xmas"...which is greatly offensive since I am Jewish.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for contacting us.
As you have not received the cards on time we have provided you 25% discount on the order as a compensation. So a refund of $4.8 has been provided back to your credit card. Also I request you to wait for 3 business days to receive your order. I can assure that you will get the order before Christmas.
If you need a full refund please return your 4x8" cards in your box or in a Snapfish mailer. Please write "Attn: Returns" on the outside. If you use a box or other plain envelope, please visit the link below to print out a postage-paid mailing return label:

Unfortunately my question was AGAIN not appropriately address.
If the order was shipped today and if it was not shipped overnight then it will not make within the quoted lead time. I should not have to give this 3 business days. The lead time quoted for processing and shipping was 5-8 business days, which gives this item an arrival time of Friday, December 19th.
It is not your place to assure me that this will arrive in time for the Holiday. You have no idea what my religious affiliation is and have no idea of the circumstance for the use of this item. I am greatly agitated and offended by your comment.
This HAS NOT been resolved to my satisfaction since it is not estimated to arrive by the 19th.
I am requesting a refund on these two items and the tracking information (which was originally asked for in the previous e-mail but failed to be provided)
Please escalate this to a supervisor.
I expect to be contacted with the information I have requested ASAP.

Please advise how this order was shipped.
My issue was not a concern for whether or not the item would arrive within the quoted processing time, it was a concern that the item HAD NOT arrived within the quoted processing time.
Looking at the order, this still stay standard shipping and unless this was overnighted it WILL NOT arrive within the quoted lead time of 5-8 business days.
Please advise how this was shipped and the tracking details.
If it has not shipped with overnight delivery or via 2-day, I will expect a full refund for these items.
In the future, I would recommend that you make sure you are clear on what the customer is asking so that you answer their question appropriately. I was very clear with the customer service rep about my concerns yesterday and asked him to make a note that if the item had not shipped that I would REQUIRE upgraded shipping.
Please advise asap.
