I wonder if Walmart is aware of this problem and has changed the way they
ship. The reason I say this is because the day after Christmas I placed two
orders(i had two online coupons so I placed two orders) one for a half price
4561 and the other for a Mindstorms RIS and selected normal ground shipping.
To my suprise both packages were shipped second day via Airborn. I actually
got the 4561 the next day, and the RIS the following day. I don't know why
they decided to ship it second day (and not charge me) but maybe it's
because of the problems they were having with the post office.
