Exactly. I'm assuming this is just some glitchy behavior in the overloaded system, and the Apple Reps have no script yet to explain it. As we've seen at least 30-40 reports of this here in this forum, it has to be effecting many hundreds of orders, and Apple will have to at some time address it (even if that's just quietly updating the shipping info at some point). I highly doubt somewhere in Logistics they made the decision to assign a 7 day delay and use USPS for seemingly random orders in which you had no choice for the shipping at order time, and they "promised" 9/16 at the time of ordering.
