The express shipping for the STR I ordered through the B&N site was only one day faster than the Amazon Super Saver Free shipping for the case I ordered to go along with it.
A warning about the free membership offer, if you decide, as I did, to take advantage of it for the free shipping:
As far as I could find, there is no way to disable the automatic renewal, which means that 2 months after your purchase, the credit card you used to buy your new Nook will suddenly be dinged for $25.
The only way to prevent this is to make sure they cancel your free membership before it runs out. I doubt you'll have much luck getting a refund if you wait till after they have already billed you.
I intend to cancel mine in the next week or so, and have also created a reminder just in case I manage to forget.
