I think it's maybe 7 hours from Winnipeg to where MWeston is. Not taking weather conditions into account.
Great news anyway!

To bad postal services don't just have emergency pick up service. What the OP team needs is an inside man at the post office.

It's only 8:34 in Winnipeg now - if it takes 7 hours we're still at delivery before 4 PM (assuming the weather doesn't slow things down too much), so Michael could give the green light tonight - not sure how that works out with the factory though, since I don't know the time difference there. Still, I heard somewhere that the factory keeps running on Saturday...

Yeah, we need the update to read "Out For Delivery"! The current post means it cleared customs, and is on the way to the local UPS hub in Michaels region. Now if Ed got that update late last night, early, early am, it may get to the hub and go "Out For Delivery" today, it just depends on the time it arrives. If there stll processing packages, they may throw it on a truck, but if they have left for the day, monday for sure. Although, they do hold most trucks for the next day US packages, as they show up last to be processed in the morning(and have to go out period), but I'm not sure if express international falls in that catagory(i would say not, as customs, and other things can cause delay)! I worked there years ago unloading trucks in the morning, brutal work, but will keep you in shape, if you don't die first!

The weather doesn't look that bad...

Well, Today for us is more like Tomorrow for China. I don't know if they work on Saturday, So it would be like if they started on Monday.
Likewise, if they get it Monday, that means the factory starts on Tuesday. Which means *maybe* they could get out 2000.

New tweet from Craig;

Looks like these cases might actually arrive today. 16 minutes ago from web
Does he have some info that ED hasn't tweeted yet? As jumpman said 'out for delivery' are the UPS magic words meaning it's on your local delivery truck right now.
Assuming Monday delivery, let's say best case scenario Michael gets it them early Monday morning local time. If he takes all day testing and says they are good by 5pm local time, that would be 7am Tuesday morning in China I believe. It's conceivable that the factory would start work on Tuesday (though Wednesday sounds a much safer bet) and actually get some completed cases out by Friday.

I saw that too. No, I don't think that he has any information that we don't. I kinda wish Craig would stop doing that. I mean, I understand that he's excited, but he's clearly jumping the gun with those posts. He did the same thing yesterday, after MWeston had posted here telling us not getting too worked up about the change from Friday to Monday. If that package was 7 hours away from MWeston this morning at 8:30a, then I don't think there's much of a chance for a delivery this afternoon. Whenever I get something shipped to me, the farthest location I've ever had something listed as being 'Out for Delivery' has been within about an hour to an hour and a half from me. Any further away and it gets routed through a closer location.
That said, it is also possible that UPS has not updated their systems and the package really is closer. Although, that's not really something that you should count on.

You guys are assuming that they're going to be transported by motor vehicle.
Considering it's international, it's possible they're getting flown into the southern states from Canada.
Then again, I've never used UPS.

UPS here in the states has suprised me more than once with a package that wasn't going to arrive anytime soon. I hope for the later first batchers that kind of speed happens also with the Winnipeg office crew. I am most grateful that Michael does not live in the Washington DC area.

I guess Craig is basing his assumption in ED's latest tweet:
Loc.: WINNIPEG, MB, CA --- Date: 05/02/2010, 5:46 --- Description: REGISTERED WITH CLEARING AGENCY / RELEASED BY CLR AGENCY. NOW IN-TRANSIT
