HT,
Two things to keep in mind, I guess the easiest way is to tell my story. When I ordered from swf.com, I e-mailed them and asked that I not have to sign for the delivery. Yeah I would lose the warranty, but I am a trusting guy and I also like to live life on the edge. I work until noon and live 20 miles from work. So I gave them my home address, I figured that even if they delivered in the morning it would sit on the porch for a couple of hours. Weather is no big deal here is So Cal. It turns out that my items were on back order and when they did ship the request for non signature was lost. No big deal stuff happens. However the dilemma arose how to get the stuff. Unfortunately I got home late on that day. After talking to Fed Ex I got lucky and the driver was still in the area. The other alternative was to drive to the Fed Ex warehouse near LA after 6:30. Not a pleasant prospect.
So to make a long post longer. Keep in mind that they may not ship the items the next day if it is on back order, and also keep in mind the time of day they will deliver.
I think for the majority of the people with regular scehdules it is not problem. But for people like us who have different schedules it can get kind of interesting.
Sorry if this is long and hard to understand, I tried to keep it short and not sure if you can understand it. I don't think I can.
