- This has changed. Their "standard" shipping is next-day delivery
- (assuming that you're in an area that supports it, which most, if not
- all, major metropolitan areas do), for a flat $5. If your area has it,
- you can even get Saturday delivery. I've done this twice in the last
- month or so: I ordered stuff on Friday and received it on Saturday (the
- NEXT day, not the next week). Note that you must explicitly ask for
- Saturday delivery; otherwise, they'll deliver on Monday (I guess that
- they assume that you're a business customer who's closed on Saturdays).
-
- I recommend them. They may not be the cheapest, but I'd rather pay
- extra for the peace-of-mind.
