Thats weird...usually they send us whatever they have in stock, and leave the rest out and ship it separately (or the same thing, but replace "in stock" with whatever can be sent by the requested shipping method).

We placed an order on I think Monday after kickoff, and we received it 3 days later, which was surprising, considering it was by ground, and came from Norfolk, VA.
