How do you like working there so far? Saw this article relating to it. Postal Service loses $2 billion in second quarter

FedEx even called me to remind me of the delivery.
It only came by FedEx because of the price? Location? Usually USPS drops off my HTS orders. However the gauntlet came from California. Normal items ship from PA.

I already have people fighting over my gauntlet online.

Actually with fedex, I've been able to go online with them with the tracking # and just note it on there to leave the box at the front door, which I think is easy, USPS has that same option as well. UPS not so, but usually you can sign the paper and it's cool.

Man I need to catch up, haven't picked up my box in a while. Does this go from Uncanny Avengers?

Back on subject, can't wait to get my SDCC Marvel stuff. Have they gone back up on HTS for a second round? I know usually they do for a very short period of time.
