I ordered my *ist-Ds From Henry's in Canada, when I bought it with the
favorable exchange rate I couldn't get a better deal anywhere else. It
was shipped by some bizare combination of Canada Post and UPS ground,
IIRC. Tracking had it clearing customs in two days and then sitting in
a UPS depot for two and 1/2 weeks before being delivered just inside the
3 week promised delivery time. On the other hand, I've ordered stuff
from B&H and Adorama taken the standard free delivery, (5-8 business
days), which is also UPS ground \and had the item in my hands the next
day. I'll check tracking which shows the item's been delivered, go to
the front door and there it is.

When an item is scanned the tracking gives you an estimated delivery
date. Obviously it got to Houston ahead of schedule so they had to do
something to keep it moving around in order to meet that estimated
date. God help them if they delivered a day earlier. After all, you
didn't pay for overnight delivery. ;-)

I didn't know UPS gets frequent flier miles....
I don't see any other reason why the package passed through Houston
twice within less than 24 hours.
I suspect they forgot to parachute it on the way from Houston to
Dallas,
but the plane/track was making only right turns (as it was ordered
some
2-3 year ago - to save the gas, when all routes were reprogrammed for
that), - so the only way it could get back was through
the neighboring state of Kentucky.
