bo666, I also live about 50 miles from Burlingame, Ca, and I got mine yesterday. The way they do it doesn't make any sense, as it said, the package was picked up from the shipper in Burlingame, sent to Fresno?, then to Sacramento, and then Back to me, here in Fairfield? Burlingame is just outside of SanFrancisco, and Fairfield is approx. half way between SF and Sac, so they had to backtrack to get it to me? Also,Kelchris3, I was home yesterday morning (work nights) and they did not even knock on the door when they delivered it. I was checking the tracking when I saw that it was Delivered, and my heart stopped, as I really thought they had sent it to someone else! I checked the code they use, LD FD, and found out that it meant, left at front door, and sure enough, I opened the door, and there it was. (: Marque, I just paid the nominal cost for shipping and didn't request my package be delievered by Airborne or anyone else for the matter. Since I live relatively close to Santa Cruz, (that's where I thought it would be shipped from) I didn't see the need to pay extra as I recalled that when I purchased Poser4 from them, It arrived within the week, using UPS. I think Airborne was what CL chose to use this time, maybe because there are so many orders to ship and they got a better deal with them? Anyway, I have my fingers crossed that you all will get yours soon. genny
