Robert,
If the order was placed on Thursday for Blue Label shipping you should have
gotten it Monday. I deal with several "Bus Depot size" vendors through my
day job as a clockmaker. If I place an order Blue or Red Lable it goes out
the day I order it and I get it on the second business day for blue label.
The company I use most is in AZ and I am in Michigan. Last week I placed an
order on Tuesday and received it on Thursday UPS Blue lable. That is what I
would expect. Not waiting 3 business days to ship.
