AndyMark does not list the weight of the HiGrip wheels (which have been used on the KOP fro the past +3 years) on the website.

Strictly, this says that each team only gets one set of buttons, but that might be too strict. This has no bearing on when the buttons are received.
I would lean towards Jon's interpretation that it's all very ambiguous at this point and we'll all just have to wait until Saturday to see.

That said that small package does tip the odds somewhat more towards us getting them ahead of time.
