RE: [Philmont]: 2005 Treks

"Next Day Delivery" to Cimarron, NM does not mean the very next day. It
means the next day that they have a full truck going that way (tongue
only slightly in cheek...). It could be the next day but it could very
well be 4 to 5 days. Ask FedEx - they will not guarantee delivery by a
certain date to zip code 87714. At least my local office won't.

I'm not clear on your comment? If I FedEx, next day delivery, to
Philmont on Monday, my package will arrive on Tuesday. If I drop a
letter in the mail box on Monday, there's no way it gets there Tuesday.
 
I don't want to waste $15 but tell me how that works out the same.
 
Thanks,
 
Mike.

Typically, late February or early March. The mailings are sequenced so
the packages arrive at or near the same time in all geographical areas
of
the USA.

Now, should you FedEx your selection card back to Philmont? In my
opinion, only if you want to waste money. Remember that Cimarron NM is a
very, very rural part of the country and USPS service is typically just
as
fast as FedEx or any of the other options. And, NO, Philmont will not
let
you e-mail or fax your selections.
