I submitted my shows at 12:30am EST (so 11:30pm HO time) on 9/30 and mine are on my doorstep today - one show was over $1300 and 8 boxes. I think their time is super fast as I expect delays. Every month since I started I have put thru my shows right at the last minute and voila - at least to me I'd never know thousands of other orders were going in at the same time.
I think today my Fex Ex guy hates me for as many as he had to unload and walk to my door and there was a TON of stoneware in it...yeah he's loving me. =)
