I placed an online order for some stocking stuffers with Lee Valley, and chose the "expedited shipping" (3-day). A check I had deposited didn't clear like I thought it would, so the ATM order was declined. I called way early Tuesday morning (I'm in Calif) to re-place the order, and the kind woman told me that it probably wouldn't get deliverd before Xmas eve. 2-day shipping costed more than the order, so I declined and hoped for the best. She said "Let's see what we can do".
I got the order mid-day Xmas eve, it was sent 2nd day delviery.
I hope nobody at Lee Valley reads this and gets upset.
