I ordered XP Pro Upgrade for $75 from Provantage today @ 1:40 P.M. and received an e-mail that it had shipped @ 2:53. :Q I've been buying things online for several years and this has to be the fastest I've ever seen anything shipped.

What's the fastest you've seen?

Once I called Crucual for replacement ram (since I fried mine overclocking) on a monday afternoon. Tuesday morning, I had replacement ram fedexed to me and I didn't even ship the dead one out yet.

Back retailers were competing against each other with free overnight shipping, I ordered hundreds of dollars in hardware no more than 2 minutes before the cutoff. Went to bed, and when I woke up around noon the next day the package was delivered :D

McMaster-Carr by far. Order anything even late in the evening from any warehouse they have in the country, ship by the cheapest ground shipping they have available, and I get it the next afternoon.

I ordered books once from UCLA before my freshman year started and it came the same day. I ordered it in the morning via UPS and it came in the afternoon...I had the biggest WTF face. Granted I live 5 miles from UCLA but still...

EDIT: It was not next day shipping or expedited. It was regular ground.

I remember the good ole' days of "Siberian Outpost", which is not "Fry's Outpost". They offered free overnight delivery on all orders! They had really good prices too. I bought a HP computer and a Monitor and it came the next day.

NCIX always ships fast for me.
Never paid for anything over standard shipping.
stuff still arrives within 3 days... and that's always the case. They are overall the fastest shipping I've ever had from an online vendor.
