Default How is this possible?

I took advantage of a cyber Monday deal on a adjustable torque spoke wrench through Bike bandit for $92 bucks including free UPS ground shipping. I get the wrench delivered from San Diego to Texas in 24 hours. The package is marked UPS ground. How did they do that.

Fastest shipment I ever got without overnight fees.

Thats good service. I try not to order from business that don't at least ship it out the same day. I also try to use businesses that are one day away for shipping so I get my stuff the next day.

I've NEVER had bad service from Biker Bandit. I think they have a distribution center in Dallas actually...maybe that's where it came from?

Was it shipped from San Diego or is the business in San Diego and it got dropped shipped from somewhere else? Would surprise me it got to you that quick from SD.
