Re: US Mail PTF Orders

Take a look at the package label and see when IBM shipped it.
If was US Mail - i just received a "priority mail" package (not from IBM)
that took 9 days from ship to receive. It did come from the area where
tornadoes hit last week so could be that reason for delay...

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?
