Fastest Amazon order ever

Mid-Monday afternoon I ordered a book from Amazon. I chose regular USPS shipping. Amazon told me the book would ship the next day and arrive up to 5 days later.

It arrived Tuesday at 12:02.

I'm still in awe over this. We moved to a mostly rural part of Texas; the middle of nowhere, as my wife described it when I first met her and she was living here. Are we yards away from a secret Amazon warehouse?


Drop shipping?

Either that, or it's possible your order was "drop shipped" from an upstream provider and never even went through their warehouse, and the drop shipper happened to be near you.
