Box day!!! Crazy fast shipping too!

Post by sharonb » Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:19 pm

On Friday I decided to go ahead and get the history books I needed for Beyond (I was going to try to make it work with older editions, and decided that would make things too hard, so I placed an order for what I needed). On Saturday I got a shipping notification email. Today (Monday) my package arrived! I'm in FL, so that's really fast!

The books look great and I'm SO GLAD I decided to get them rather than trying to figure out page numbers in downloaded copies and old editions. I showed the books to dd and she's excited to get started next month.

Thanks HOD for the FAST shipping! :mrgreen:

That's great, Sharon! :D That WAS fast - Mike and the boys must be racing around, leaving skid marks between the shelves. :lol: Have fun looking through all of your things!

sharonb,

I'm so excited that you'll get a chance to use Beyond! We'll be doing it this upcoming year with my third little guy too. :D I can't believe my Greyson is old enough to do Beyond. I can remember lovingly going through it with my second son, Shaw, like it was yesterday. Although it wasn't just yesterday... as Shaw is heading into 5th grade and will do CTC this upcoming year! Where does the time go? :shock:

Blessings,
Carrie

I ordered on Friday too! I'm hoping to get my box soon. But I'm in Canada. It entered customs on Sunday, so now it's all up to the guys on this side of the border. But HOD has the fastest ship out time I've seen.

Hey Carrie, do you live right beside the post office? :wink:

Mumkins,

We actually have UPS twice a day and the post office daily make pick-ups and drop-offs right at our house, which is terrific. :D Our inventory comes on pallets on a semi-truck to our house too and gets unloaded with a forklift. We blessedly have a conveyer that goes downstairs into our warehouse, which fills our entire basement (which was meant to one day have an office, a living room, two bedrooms, a utility room, and a restroom). Luckily, we never finished more than my hubby's office before the Lord took good care of guiding us in making sure our basement would be ready to be a warehouse instead, in order to handle what He had in store for us! :wink:

Blessings,
Carrie
