These aren't stocked in the stores, so it didn't come from a local store.
2 laser toners, 2 different types. Ordered yesterday morning. Just arrived now. Just a little over 24 hours. Wasn't even scheduled to be delivered until tomorrow & I didn't think that would happen. I thought only AMZN delivered that fast!

Not a fast shipping story, but UPS surprised the heck out of me today. Ordered something that was supposed to be delivered via SurePost (ugh), get a notice from UPS this morning that said they "would be in my neighborhood today and would deliver my item via UPS instead the originally stated SurePost" or similar wording. Came 2 days early too. Woo hoo!
Meanwhile...the other item (from same company, different store) is being shipped SmartPost from Phoenix. It should have zipped thru ABQ today on it's way to Denver. *sigh*

In general, the delivery co's (including USPS) really seem to pull the stops out at Xmas, particularly the few days before hand. Still frustrating that your item from PHX is coming via DEN  (is this angry smiley? It looks like an old man smiley LOL). |

Yup, that's the angry smiley. yeah, the smartpost stuff from PHX always cracks me up. I could literally drive to phx, pick it up, and return to ABQ before the smartpost package even gets to Denver.
UPS and regular FedEx ground have been delivering ahead of schedule this week.

Costco drone delivery they're keeping secret? That's super fast!
Not that it was totally fast shipping, but I was surprised that my UPS delivery was a day earlier than scheduled. Which was shocking because I never count on UPS making it on time.

Around here it looks like USPS and UPS have extra trucks on the street because I have seen delivery drivers in U-Haul rental panel trucks.
My USPS guy was in one the other day and when I asked him about it, he said they ran out of USPS trucks so they were renting trucks wherever they could to get the mail/packages out.
