I made an order on a Saturday at 2:30pm. It was to be gift wrapped and sent out by express delivery. I couldn't believe when I got the email 30 minutes later that the order had been dispatched and was due to arrive the next day. Sunday evening and I had the package in my hands! Even if they had dispatched the package on Monday for delivery on Tuesday, that would have been fantastic, but to have it all done over the weekend was amazing. The fact it was beautifully gift wrapped in that time frame too - wow!
