You may experience anomalies because of your location near a shipping center.

This is consistent with my experience ONLY in situations where the
sender specified UPS 3-day delivery.  B&H does that for all packages
they send to me and it adds an EXTRA day to the process since I'm only
two days away via normal Ground service.  I have to beg them to send
via normal ground service.  It probably costs them less to boot!

If I ship to or receive in my one day ground service area, it takes
just that -- one day.

If Walt hasn't gotten a UPS tracking number yet, it's still at KEH.
