I see you are in Canada...but here's what just happened for me:
Tuesday NIGHT I submitted a show. Thankfully, I was "on top of things" and printed out her receipts and mailed them out Wednesday morning. YESTERDAY...yes...less than 48 hours from transmission she got box #1 and TODAY she got the other 4 boxes!
Seems if it's not the EOM or end of a promotion period for us, they are ON TOP of things and the hosts get the stuff in their hands within a week! I still tell everyone 1-2 weeks to be safe (since the warehouse DOES get bogged down sometimes) but they are almost ALWAYS plesantly surprised when it gets there WAY EARLY!!

Well, I am in Ontario, I think that might make a difference. But I do love my UPS driver. I live in a rural area & my place isn't the easiest to find. I always know if a package is dropped of by someone else - he has drawn a map on the box for his co-worker lol. And my lane is almost 2 km long through bush (swamp mostly) so if the lane is bad (with either mud & rain or snow & ice) he will call me to meet him & pick it up at the end of the lane or to find an alternate drop off spot.
