I ordered my 1.5TB drive on Monday at 4pm with the slowest free shipping. The package left facility in NJ by 10pm, arrived to Boston by 3am. Out for delivery at 6am and in my front porch by 10am the same morning. God damn.

UPS via Dell Small Biz.

I've seen deliveries coming from NJ before and it would still take days, if not blatantly it at warehouse doing nothing just to not to meet the slow shipping date.

All of it.

You know what I love about my Comcast?

Ever since they lifted the p2p throttle and introduced a monthly bandwidth cap, it's been BLAZING fast.

I can DL pron at empornium at a rate of 1.3 megabytes per second. THAT, is amazing. I'd pick that with 250gb limit vs throttled any day.

IBM/Lenovo was INSANE with their UPS shipping of my laptop. I opted for their free 3-5 day delivery and the package made it from Shenzen, China to my house in FL the next day.

So the question is....what would have happened if you had paid an extra $100 for overnight?

One of the most amazing shipments I've ever seen was three days from ordering to me via USPS.

The thing was, this was while I was at a combat outpost in Baghdad, Iraq. Usually it took at least two weeks.

I ordered a USB hub from Amazon on Xmas day. I got a notification later that night that it shipped out. I received it the next day at 4pm.

I drove to a store once, bought an item and had the product home in under an hour.
