Anticipated Arrival

The manipulatives that we needed to be able to start math as scheduled arrived yesterday afternoon. I was a bit concerned because they were ordered on the 16th of August and they didn't ship until the 24th. Apparently, a couple of the items are on backorder and they usually wait one week for them to arrive before sending out the other items. This was not a problem, except that I did not pay for expedited shipping, and the estimated shipping was 7 to 10 business days!

So, I called on Friday to get tracking info, and was told that they wouldn't have that until Monday. I called on Monday, and the lady told me it looked like it was still sitting in the warehouse and that UPS apparently had not picked it up yet. Tuesday, before I even had a chance to call, I received an email with my tracking info. Imagine my surprise when I checked the tracking and saw that it was expected the next day!

At any rate, we got the materials on time. The items that are on backorder are not needed yet, so we are good to go on Tuesday as planned!
