I am still patiently (and anxiously) waiting for my DYA order to arrive, it has been 4 weeks today since it shipped from DYA. I am curious if anyone else ever had an order that took an extremely long time to arrive. It is a fairly large order and I (...) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Ok, I've been arguing this with several people now for 3 days, and I'm SURE someone can answer this in a second: What US State is abbreviated as "MN"?
