Well, normaly UPS from CT to IL should be 3 days. They scan it in at any stop along the way. So if you count 1 or 2 to pack and ship 3 days to deliver, omitting Sat and Sun (Sat because it isn't overnight) I should have got them on Fri. I'm begining (...) (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
