    I order a Miami Dolphins skin 12/3 it's the 9th still not here you think for $35 they would be faster.

    Last time I order from them without paying for express service.

    That's how companies get you. They offer "express service" or "expedited service" for a fee, hoping to cash in on people's impatience. Otherwise, they take their sweet time on orders. It's just how it is. :rolleyes:

    That's why you order from somebody with a guaranteed shipping time, or a history of sending orders on time.

    Only 6 days. 1-2 days to prepare and handle the skin. Another 3-7 days to ship.

    I tend to think it is a fluke occurence. I got mine from skinit in 3 days with only standard shipping.

    In addition to what grasshopper said, shipping time does not usually include weekends.

    I just seen that hope it fits on my Acer 5315 didn't have that model so I picked the Acer 5715 which is 15.4 like mine but after looking at it the case looks different.

    Brand new laptop so I can't wait to see it. I wish they made skins for desktop pc's.

    Mine took a month. I was never informed that the transaction went through and I was not informed when it shipped out.

    The day I was going to call the credit card company I received it.

    It was shipped by UPS Innovations whiich says UPS gets the package to your town then USPS takes another 3-5 days to deliver it.

    track is order #.skinit

    It says been sitting in orlando for 3 days no idea when they p[lan to take it to St. Petersburg. If they would had shipped it UPS Ground I would have it by now.

    Never again will I order from Skinit. They over charge and don't seem to want people to get their skins in a timely matter. I was told to call back in 15 days if I don't get it.

    Why wouldn't UPS send the package to Pinellas Park Florida UPS location then drop it off at the USPS by me?
