Yes BobD - that was the great Black Friday sales, when the merchants get hammered and we get great deals.

Over the last few weeks Mike and I have been shipping quite a few packages and receiving a few through the US Office. With the budget crunch and uproar inside of our al system it seems that everything shipped Priority Mail is running well over one weeks delay from the estimated arrival date.

If Fox does ship via US Priority there is very, very little they or any other retailer can do to control the time it takes to arrive at your door once the package is in the Office's hands.

This is very true for us in Hawaii, snail mail in USPS....is hardly crawling, if not dead. If you want fast service you have to go to UPS or Fed Ex.and then you have to be on the other side of the fence when it is tossed over the fence.

Same here, Priority mail shipping has gone haywire...sent a set to London and it got there in five days, sent a certified letter to New York and it took 8 days to get there. Shipping is going to be nightmare this season!
