- I have also had good luck with PC Connection. Their ad in the latest PC Mag
- lists their phone number as 800-800-0004. They also have a new shipping
- policy. $5 flat fee for shipping on any item and they send everything
- Airborne Express overnight. They also will ship on Friday for Saturday
- delivery at no extra cost. One other rather interesting note on their
- shipping - they claim that orders received between midnight and 3:00am eastern
- will be received by the customer on that same business day. I may have to order
- something between midnight and 3am saturday morning just to see if I get it
- that day...
