Yep, it has taken 5 days so far to get a package from Pen. to IL.

Still haven't gotten the bastage.

is that UPS? i have a theory that they give priority to business customers over residential. i shipped a hard drive to new mexico from virginia via UPS ground, from work, and it only took 3 days. i'm sure it would've taken a week if i had shipped it from a residential address.

try making up a fake name for your deliveries, like Ship To: Consolidated Computer Consultants, c/o whoever. i bet it gets to you in record time.

Yeah, its UPS Ground. They suck! Delivery was scheduled for 3/23, but for some reason it never left Kentucky and then they rescheduled for 3/26 (no weekend service!) Now its in Greensboro but I guess it got there too late to make the 6pm dropoff deadline, so its gonna sit and wait till tomorrow. Its been over a week (I ordered early enough last Monday for it to qualify as a 'business day'.)

All this for 2 DVDs (which when shipped through good ol' USPS only takes 3-4 days from the same vendor.)

In case you're wondering, I ordered 'X-Men' and 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. Got 'em for under $12 each, shipped! Gotta love Amazon and the Hot-Deals forum!!!
