Neil: I checked my list of those who received Gekko 2/2, and you were on it. I did notice that I only had a zip and not your zip+4. I don't know how much of a difference that makes but it may be a factor. The fact that Gekko is a large envelope may also be a factor on speedy delivery.
I mailed Gekko out on Saturday from Spencer, OK's post office. I would like to know how long it does take for them to get there.
