Be patient on shipping. I believe UPS and FedEx use a hub system for moving packages. That is, the package must move to the local depot, then to the nearest hub and then to a distant hub near the recipient and then to the local depot and then onto the local delivery truck. This is also complicated by the fact that some packages will travel by air cargo and some by truck between hubs. Also, some hubs and depots handle much more volume than others.
