I know, the waiting is the hardest part. Don't forget to post some pictures when you get it. Congrats.

It makes you wish you could go down there and commandeer that box yourself, doesn't it? ;)

I just discovered that DHL offers a "hold for pickup" option that FedEx and UPS don't. Picking it up at the terminal will most likely cut the wait by at least a day or possibly a whole weekend. The other plus is that however long the box is held it is stored inside the terminal as opposed to sitting in a locked trailer all weekend long.

Actually, at my local UPS you can call them and tell them to hold it and pick it up at the loading facility. I have done this a number of times. Maybe too late for that but just thought I would pass on the info :)

Oh yeah, UPS has the HOLD FOR PICKUP option. I've used it as my stealth shipping method for years! :lol:

UPS will do it on plain old UPS Ground service. Fedex will only do it on 2nd Day Air. A while back, I was contemplating buying a nice guitar from Buffalo Bros., they would not ship UPS so I could habve the HOLD FOR PICKUP option, and quoted me Fedex 2nd Day Air at $75 as the only way to get the HOLD. I passed.
