Express Shipping?

[Comessy]

So Newegg offers express shiping for an extra $13, an they say it will be delivered in 1 day.

 

Is this true? has anyone tried express shipping? How does it compare to ground shipping?

 

Shipping will be from :

Mississauga, ON L5R 4E1 (Newegg)   ->   Airdrie, AB T4A OB5 (Me)

I can't speak for Canada (although, I find it hard to believe it would be significantly different), but in the US, shipping ground usually winds up as air freight for anything greater than 500 miles anyways (except during the holidays when everything goes by snailback). Even under the worst conditions, shipping ground is a maximum two day difference. In my opinion the extra cash for one day delivery (that is one business day if the order is submitted before a certain time, btw) is only worth it for mission critical items (and no, the ability to play GTA V at a higher resolution is not mission critical).

Dumb question, are you sure it's wise to be posting your Postal Code on a public forum?

 

 

You can always go for the 4GB/64GB model for $379.99 at NCIX. They still have plenty of the Gold model in stock. lol

-Why does it really matter posting his Postal code? 

 

-I would assume they have warehouses in Canada if they offer 1 day

 

I know Amazon 1day ships, I get everything shipped next morning afternoon. I assume a big name as them will stand by their 1day.

Because it's his home address? I guess some people don't care about giving out personal information like that.

Actually, you are right. I haven't. The GTA series just never interested me.

 

Games that grab my attention are ones like Fallout series or Half-life series (big sigh).

Postal Code wise, it depends on where he lives. In most cases, the postal code will narrow it down to the city, and possibly to a specific section of said city.

 

Unless you live in a high-rise apartment building though, a Postal Code will not generally give you the exact address.

 

Still, it is always best to divulge the minimum amount of information to the internet.

It's not my exact postal code, I wouldn't post that here. Let's just say it's close enough
