They got it into the shipper's hands in 3 days. They don't advertise anything differently. The path it takes from there is not in their control.

They are micro SD cards, I could have shipped them by carrier pidgeon, they are light hence even $5 is more than enough to ship them with a decent carrier

the pigeons don't have to rest as much.
 
It's called flat rate shipping. They make money on small items and lose money on big items, so it pretty much evens out for them.
