I too am looking for another blender since my cheap Hamilton Beach with a plastic jar has a huge crack down the side. I'm pretty sure I will be going with the Braun here.

I assume you are going to contact Amazon and tell them you actually received the blender so they can charge your credit card.
I had given it some thought. My wife and I are both college students and we are basically broke right now, so that factors in. Amazon is the one that told me it was lost in shipping, so I assume they can tell that it reached its destination. As morally unjust as it sounds, I think I'll leave the burden on them to re-bill me.Andy M. said:eatsOats:

I have to agree about the Vita-Mix... Granted it's a major investment, but this thing'll eat a two-by-four if you feed it in there. I have no fear about putting anything in it - I love fruit smoothies, and rather than using ice to freeze them, I simply toss in frozen berries or other fruit along with a fruit juice base and let the blender chew it up. Great flavor without the watered down flavor from the ice. And we've made the nut butters too - my wife loves the honey roasted peanuts and cashews run through it into a wonderful honey nut butter. The friction of the blades spinning through liquid can actually bring it to a boil if you let it run for several minutes. Great for cream soups.
All in all, worth every dime I paid.
