Well, it WAS shipped (from what it looks like) the cheapest shipping possible. Other packages take priority if need be.

2 days in a row? It's not holiday time, I don't think so.


Not gonna die if I don't get this, just figured I'd present that none of the shipping companies are your friends.

My guess is they save money by waiting for a truck/plane to be full before sending them.

Unless you have insight into the value chain of any such freight company you cannot really question, or appreciate for that matter how and why the delay or expidiate shipments, it is easy to critize, not that easy to optimise and maximize profit vs cash costs. Hope this makes sense :)
