    I just figure that "Free Super-Saver Shipping" saves me enough
    money to buy several more goodies!

    That is free shipping or the cheapest mode of shipping for me. :)

    I couldn't believe it myself, as normally, it takes about 4 to 5 days.
    The site I ordered from is in California. Standard UPS delivery.

    Funnily enough, the bottom-end shipping usually delivers
    *significantly* faster than predicted. Say I order on Monday. I get a delivery day ten days away. The package is delivered Thursday. :-)
    Then I have to wait maybe 2-3 weeks for processing by Customs &
    Excise... :-(


    Like I said... thats what you get for living on an island! :)

    > I do believe I heard some rumour that you had a revolutionary war, as
    recent as the 1770's? Not exactly the epitome of stability. We have had
    a stable parliament here for something like 375 years.

    *yawn*
