This bothers me too (them not really using Fedex Ground). I was told on the phone when I orderd that this was how they would send it. I don't have a mail carrier. I have to go to the post office and pick up my mail from my PO box. The person I ordered from said that it would come to the house via Fexdex Ground and that the PO Box thing did not matter (packages do come to my address via their trucks). Hopefully it will work like a normal USPS shipment where I get a card in my box.
I would have prefered the option to pay a reasonable shipping fee and get it faster. It looks like the $80 option is true ground which is just insane. I don't understand why they are trying to steer folks away from using faster options. I would think that they do better if I pay $25-$30 for 2 day shipping than getting this fake ground for free.
Oh well, I am glad that they finally released the thing. Now to be patient until the reader crosses the country (I'm estimated for Oct 5th too).
