it would have been faster for him to ship it than for me to meet him in person since it was during the weekdays. yes i'm lazy. :(

Maybe he thought, "Wow, what a lazy SOB! Who buys a $450 phone and is too lazy to not drive 40 minutes, round trip, to pick it up?! I'll show him..."

Hey, it could happen! :laugh:

At any rate, drive to his house and kick his @$$! :)

Ask him for the tracking number. About 50% (guess) of the deals I've been in with people were delayed at least one day because they were too lazy to ship the item. They always have a good excuse though.

Have you ever heard of USPS? Priority is like 1 day for within the same region.

However, I have gotten a UPS ground order on the SAME day.

UPS is 1 day within the same region too usually.
Atleast my UPS/Fedex/DHL packages are usually that way

Sometimes they are just damn slow. Don't go accusing the man yet. Just kindly ask him to send you the tracking # when he gets home. One time I delivered a package 30 minutes away, and it took a week before it left the post office. I was pissed.

A light tap on the knee with a crowbar does wonders in expediting delivery.

Remember, his knee not yours.

No!!!! Don't fall for the dark side. The proper word is "ditto". And the proper word it is even easier to type and easier to say than that stupid acronym. Its one of the few acronyms which exist to make it MORE effort to use.
