This is a big point for me. The amount of money spent as a collective on expedited shipping (even with gracious discounts offered by AndyMark and IFI) has got to be astronomical. This is money we are quite literally throwing away as it relates to the 6 week deadline.
I would certainly welcome the cost savings...
