Re: US Mail PTF Orders

Ours usually come via DHL and are quick.  Last time I noticed when ordering
a group online was that there was a field to specify the carrier... i've
never used it though.

Wow.  Ordered the PTF media for HMC 5.2 - did this on Feb 28th.

The front of the package says "Ship date 2/28/2006" and here it is the
16th of March and it showed up today.  This took so long I reordered the
package 2 days ago.  Good thing I didn't need the fix packs for my HMC
or anything.  Sheesh.

Anyone else having 2.5-week turnaround times on their PTFs?  Is this
IBM's way to ensure everyone does electronic delivery?
