Co-ordinating ship dates so things arrive somewhere on a specific day is not easy when using big international shippers like FedEx. This is the very reason that for us Canadians buying off Amazon, for example, we're quoted 9-15 days. They have no idea when it's going to get here.

I don't think that is a big concern. I mean, people put the field together for remote Kickoffs and those people keep their mouth shut in the day or so before Kickoff, so I don't think they hold back the KOPs in fear of people opening them and finding out about the game.
