Does anyone know if the delivery will be as prompt as it was with UPS. I live in Metro Detroit, and typically, the products were sent to the host in under a week - typcially in 3 days.

When I order from Arbonne, it takes over a week to get my products.

Where in Detroit are you? I'm in Southfield.

I glad they gave UPS the boot. Over the last few months UPS has really screwed things up for me. Still have missing deliveries.
