I don't know...I sort of wish Stephen had shipped Friday with Priority Mail Express. Granted it may not have made a difference, but somehow shipping Thursday and relying on Priority Mail (lower service guarantee) to get it to us on Saturday seemed iffy. Especially while advertising next day delivery to most of the lower 48......and even saying it on my receipt.
USA FREE NEXT DAY by USPS most lower 48 Locations, over $598 - 3:00 PM PST cut off M-Sat
At least he would have been shipping it on the release date and using service that "should" get it to many places next day.
In the end I guess he assumed it wouldn't matter given the speed of USPS lately.

My tracking says it was sent Priority Mail, which is 1-3 day (no guarantee.) Priority Mail Express is 1-2 day (guaranteed...as in a refund I guess if they miss.)
Doing a zip code to zip code transit time lookup on USPS implies my zip code would be delivered in 2 days. But again...it's not guaranteed.
I wonder if he's saying he's not allowed to provide any deliveries before Saturday (maybe a Cosina thing?) In which case he has to sort of play a game with what shipping to use.

Message from Stephen:
Hi Bob,
It was shipped to arrive Sat, the label says 2 day.
shipped early as the earliest delivery date possible is Sat.
Best,
Stephen
So, hopefully it will arrive Saturday and USPS is just playing it safe.
That's what I got out of his message as well. He timed shipments to coincide with a Cosina arrival date of Saturday.
