UPS shows it in Middleburg Heights, with an anticipated delivery day of Monday.

It's going to a friend's office while I'm at work. I'm pretty sure that I've got a better chance of my rail showing up on time FROM CHINA via UPS than I do two lamps showing up from Amazon in the US via USPS.

BTW - A couple of weeks ago, a delivery person wearing an Amazon polo shirt delivered a package to my building (Sunday too, I think). She said they were a contract commercial carrier for Amazon. I saw the truck with the carrier name, which I forget. It was somebody besides UPS or Fedex. She actually CALLED the recipient to tell him his package was there.

Maybe Amazon is starting to get the message...
The problem with stuff coming from China (and even Canada lately) is that it can sit in customs for extended periods.
