Maybe this is why Kobo broke away from Walmart?

EDIT: A closer look at Verde shows that it's a small company headquartered in Boise. So this is probably NOT who Kobo is working with.
My order was sent via Boise too. It looks kind of like a USPS fulfillment center to me (but I don't know squat!). Here is the tracking for it (read from bottom up):

Anyway, it looks like buying from Kobo is now pretty reliable I think.
