Been awhile since i ordered from their website....

Shipping for 1gb CF card was either $6.50 for ground, $7.75 for 2nd day air, or $9.50 for overnight... Site says if you place your order before midnight, it will ship the same day :D

Testing out the overnight shipping to see if it comes tommorow :)

EDIT: Package just arrived, ordered at 11:32pm last night, less than 12 hours later its here. Insane.

I have ordered from them before using overnight.
Don't ask me how, I ordered around 6PM and when I woke up the next morning, the package was at my door.
I was living in Miami back then. Overnight was included in my order.

When did you place the order, that is the real question. Make sure to read the fine print, probably says "Orders placed before xxx will ship same day, for you lazy bastards, it will be shipped tomorrow, and if you purchased overnight on thursday after 3:00 and not in your time zone but one that is already earlier than yours, you will receive your item on Monday... if you're lucky"

Was it Outpost that used to have free Airborne shipping overnight? My e-tailer history is a bit fuzzy.

I've had pretty good experiences with Outpost.com, they're in Cali I think, and I'm down here in FL. I ordered a $20 game with ground delivery, it was there 2 days later. Not bad!

I don't even have the camera yet, so really no reason at all.

For $2 more though, why not? :D

Exactly. If ground shipping was $3.95 or less I would have chosen that instead.

For $2 more than 2nd day, overnight is a no brainer.

i once bought a book from some japanese place on ebay. it arrived the next day. and i knew it was from japan because the whole packaging was in japanese and the packing slip was totally not in english. it was so cool.
