Out of curiosity, did you choose UPS or USPS shipping? Both options are free.

I picked USPS. Seems just as fast as UPS often times

I chose USPS because they deliver on Saturday.

I always do Cathe's pre-orders, and although I pick UPS each time, it gets mailed via USPS. Strange how it changes to a different vendor, but no complaints as long as I get my DVDs!!!

I've also tried UPS before but it always ships USPS. Here's customer service response over 6 years ago (to the Xtrain series) regarding this issue.

"We are very sorry for any inconvenience.

All our Xtrain preorders shipped out through the US Postal Service Priority Mail Flat Rate. We offered "free shipping " on all Xtrain orders, so with that, we reserve the right to select the shipping carrier. If there had been a note with special mailing instructions entered in the "comments box" when you placed the order, we would've known not to ship it USPS."

With that said I do believe USPS is faster for my particular area... But I have to go to the local PO and pick it up. Where UPS delivers right to my door.

Oooh...makes sense. Thanks for sharing the explanation.

Check your shipping number. Bet yours went out too.

Mine are to be delivered Monday. If you take the tracking number and put it into the USPS site it will tell you the delivery date.

Can't wait.
