So I just did a PO for a dozen cases of assorted bottles and caps, 10,000+ of them. As always, I used the free ground shipping option, which generally takes two days after shipping to arrive. The other option was next-day, but that would have cost $900+ extra. I wonder if anyone is ever in such a hurry for bottles that they&#8217;ll pay for next-day shipping. That phrase that starts out &#8220;piss-poor planning&#8221; comes to mind.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>07:51 &#8211; Barbara left at 7:00 for an early appointment with her doctor.
