    Can they guarantee such a thing? It would be certainly difficult in these times, where delivery services are very busy... ;)

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Apparently, they can. If I do not receive on the required date, then the courier is under a contractual penalty. However, I received this one in plenty of time. But that is not the full story. The recipient is under strict laydown policy too - and cannot open until specified date. (See additional photo that follows). I know what the item is. The release date is for the upcoming book by Barack Obama. I probably did not order enough of these babie$.

    Is there the possibility they will come and check you didn't open it before the specified date? And if they catch you what are the concequences?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Generally, if you're paying for guaranteed delivery dates, barring customs delays, most carriers do so, or they'll owe the shipper.

    No problem. I would.. as they say, "shoot, shovel and shut
    up". ;)

    The only time I learned about a violator was the one that I
    picked up on. It was a big box Indigo.ca. I had learned that
    some people had already received their copies from online
    orders of something that was not supposed to be released/
    shipped until a specific date. I was a little livid. I called
    the publisher/distributor and complained. I had copies of
    people's exchanges on facebook to prove it (people discussing
    that their book had arrived and commenting how beautiful it
    was inside). They were not too happy to hear that one outlet
    violated the laydown date.
