No. Jeff is right about the Amazon delays. If you pay for the faster
shipping method, you also get the faster ship date. If you opt for free
shipping, they put the item on their "when I'm not busy" list and delay it
for unbelievable amounts of time. The slow, ground shipping method is
nothing, compared to the delayed ship date. Even if it is in stock, and
shipped from Amazon's warehouse, a couple of weeks is not unusual.
