Are you as demanding as this buyer?

Sold an item on Monday afternoon (Paypal payment made ~ 2 pm). Shipped item on Thursday. The following e-mail was posted to me from the buyer at 1:45pm, Thursday:

i am very disappointed that is has taken you so long to ship my purchase.i ordered and paid for this item march 27 06 but yet i didnt receive a notice that you had printed a shipping label until today.by my account it took you 4 days to even ship this item .i was under the impression that i would have it in 2 to 3 days from the time i ordered it.i am very unhappy with this type of service.

At first I thought it a joke, but the tone seems serious. Most folks are very pleased with my shipping and mention it in my feedbacks. This is a first for me! I'll probably get bad or neutral FB from this one. You can be sure I'll be adding a comment to it!

Is shipment within a week unreasonable? Can it be considered "prompt"? Are you guys as demanding?

BTW, buyer made no mention in payment e-mail that IMMEDIATE shipping was important. I guess I'll bite my tongue, and send a groveling reply.

Oh well, live & learn! Another incident to verify my theory that some folks just aren't HAPPY unless they're UPSET about something!
