If you ordered the kit today before 5pm, and you chose FedEx, you will have the kit tomorrow.

Hopefully this kit will get here this week so I can tackle it this weekend.
A.B. shipments typically arrive within 3-5 days for me. That's NY to Philly.

Which shipping option do you choose?
I always choose FedEx and I get mine in 3 days.

Spend the extra dollar next time and choose FedEx, AB to Philly, 2 days max.

Damn, I chose UPS ground. I almost ordered my parts via Amazon because the shipping would be way cheaper - and, in some cases, free (I'm a Prime member.)

I'll call AB to see if they can change/expedite my order.

EDIT: Just spoke to them and they said I should be getting it tomorrow - even though it's ground. At the latest, by Monday. Awesome.

Just a FYI, FedEx is on average 2-3 days quicker than UPS, that is nation wide so your results may vary.
I order on the weekend and Tony has my parts to my garage by Wed. early afternoon, that is using FedEx Home Delivery, FedEx ground is the same only they do not deliver on Sat like Home Delivery does.
So if I order on Wed. I have it by Sat.

I’m in mass. Using AB's regular delivery I usually get things 1 or 2 days, sometimes next day depending upon what time of day I order

Yeah, you're probably just as close as I am to AB, because I'm in North Jersey. They said that because of my location and how they ship their skids, I can expect next day or 2nd day with UPS ground. "No need to spend the extra money, unless you want guaranteed next day."

I just checked and it's on the truck "Out for Delivery." Boom!

Well, lesson learned: They marked it as "Delivery Attempt" when, in fact, NOBODY ever even drove by my house. How do I know? I work from home, haven't left the house today, and no notice was left. They usually leave what they call an InfoNotice. Nothing. So, apparently, they just didn't feel like delivering an 85lb package today. NOW they tell me I have to wait till Monday. There goes the weekend...

I'll be driving down to Wildwood Crest later in the week and was planning on having this job done this weekend.

No more UPS for me. You get what you pay for.
