I ordered my CUM, Hiper and group via IPTF on Tuesday and got them
yesterday via
Airborne. The only time I had a problem was when there server was down and
I
keep reordering them, go three sets. I only found out about the problem
because
I sent an email asking what the problem was. It sure would have been nice
to
post something on the web site to tell people.
