just enjoy the new burner... i mean, you can play with the included CDR and CDRW while you wait :p

but then, burning at those speeds, it's not much fun at all ;)

It's been the other way around for me. Most I've ordered from buy.com has arrived in a day or 2(except my monitor) while most from Onvia has take up to a week. It may depend how close the warehouses are from you.
