I've got to give G4U, and all the other retailers, this one bit of
support. Once the glasses have been shipped, it's out of their hands.
If customs hold them up, or if your package ends up being used as the
footrest for some Appalachian postmaster, they haven't any control
over this.
I've had questionable experiences with the postal service in the past.
UPS and FedEx are better, but still not flawless.
*Shipping* delays are not their fault.
