I thought Dextra said elsewhere that Hellhound zipped down into NY to do the mailing of those packages, no?
Honestly, I don't recall the date, but I'll dig through my files and piles to find the shipping invoice so I can determine
A. Date of shipment
B. Method: he may have gone for Media Mail, which is the cheapest (and unfortunately slowest) method of shipping.
He did indeed drive to NY state to do the shipping.
And yes, it would have made far more sense to ship it from Gen Con proper. But what with having to tear down the booth and load it and the piles of books it contained into the van & trailer, then pack up to leave, it wasn't feasible. Then the overwhelming urge to get home took over, and by the time we reached anywhere resembling a postal outlet, it was closed already. Lots of wouldacouldashouldas involved, and lessons learned.
Anyhoo, I probably won't be able to look at anything until Sunday- just too many other things on my plate, but I hope to have some concrete answers Monday morning. I'm sorry I didn't notice this thread before- I will give this my attention and hope to come up with a resolution forthwith.
PS- JF, I hope your emergency resolved itself painlessly and quickly
