Yes, I would agree with both of you. Thats why I said I dont know if they hand it off at all if its a fast shipping service such as 2 or 3 day etc..If I were the shipping company I wouldn't take the risk. Even if they deliver the package as next day air, then hand it off "hoping" the post office will get it delivered the next day for them wouldnt be the best bet. They DO have DHL trucks they could dispatch to deliver the time sensitive packages, but who knows. That certainly would be the most effective way to keep people happy. Ordinary ground shipping isn't fun though.
Cant do much about it now, let us know how it works out.
