    So I ordered a SGP Linear Ex bumper case on the 28th of June (Thursday) and it shipped from LA the next day. Now what's really weird is that I live in Ireland...and I usually buy things from the UK amazon site which come in like 2 weeks tops. But, I actually JUST received the case today! The 2nd of July! So what like 3, 4 days? I have to say that was REALLY quick. I was expecting it to arrive around the 25th-30th July (While I would be on holiday) but I'm surprised by this quick delivery! Just wanted to let people know about this lol. Have you gotten a package faster than this? (Obviously from my non-US/non-EU country to an EU/US country? Or Asia or whatever you get the deal)

    I wish all delivery was this fast. My MacBook is shipping from China, here to the US. I ordered it Saturday and it's expected to arrive on Friday or Saturday. That fast shipping would be nice. But then again I got standard shipping through FedEx and Sunday isn't a mailing day and neither is Wednesday since its an American holiday. :(

    USPS delivers fast.

    UPS on the other hand...

    Yes. That's the only way I would have known.

    I know, dude!! If I order a PhantomSkinz product from the US (they ship with USPS), it's here in 4 days and I live in Spain. Amazon from Germany or the UK takes much longer. It's really amazing.

    Now I know to buy stuff that ship from USPS. Even better I get free Amazon coupons from YouTube (got $37 + spent on case = got free :D)

    USPS ships faster than FedEx and UPS IMO

    UPS blows, I have had to wait for nearly a month for a prize i won here, only to find the box was pretty much destroyed. Yelled at them for a good 5 minutes.

    When I went to America (and where I'm going in 2 weeks times) I saw a UPS truck on every other block it was crazy. Thu were literally everywhere. I haven't really used FedEx and I've only used UPS once or twice.
