If there's one thing I'm upset about...

The delay was understandable, as many of us hit them all at once. This was a real boon for them, and I'm happy for the company.
The shipping options, however, were extremely high-priced for the size of what is being delivered. Having ordered many, many things online in the past, this is by far the most expensive business I've ever ordered from with regard to their delivery options.
I can't recall the exact amount I paid, but it was for the standard ground shipping. The price I paid for it was about what I'd expect to pay for US Priority Mail 2-day guaranteed.
Finally, after waiting two weeks from the time I ordered, my unit shipped yesterday. It'll now be another week before it arrives. That's pretty weak, IMHO, considering that I've ordered from outpost.com at 10PM one night & have been awakened the next morning by the delivery guy. (True story)
