Staples Next Day delivery?

Aren't Staples orders supposed to be next day delivery? Used the $50 monitor coupon last Thursday night and my order summary says: expected delivery 03/04/2014
The monitor's page had no expected delivery date listed: http://www.staples.ca/en/ASUS-VS238H-P- ... CA_1_20001
Did a web-chat and was told: "Yes the item is in stock but it is an extended delivery item and can take up to 10 business days for delivery."

their next day delivery is jus a marketing ploy Ive had things in stock show up 2-3 days later when I asked CSR they advised that next day delivery wasnt guaranteed yet they love to rub it in our faces via their website or when denying a PM lol.

I've only ordered once from Staples and I received it next business day. In fact, I had two different delivery guys come in the same day to delivery two different items from the same order.

Just got this email from them:

[QUOTE]Good Morning,
This is to advise you we have contacted the vendor and they have confirmed an ETA (estimated time of arrival) of April 16th 2014. Please allow 3-5 business days for delivery.[/QUOTE]

April 16th date is definitely quite ridiculous.

In my experiences with Staples, they've honestly shipped to me in a day. Two at max I believe.

Some items are shipped directly from the company's warehouse. I bought a monitor on Thursday (it arrived today) - and it shipped from Ingram Micro in Vancouver directly to my apartment.

Maybe some of the vendors are faster than others?
