Regarding the Shipping of SE4

I'm about to order the game but I need to know which courier Shrapnel Games uses to ship the game. Is it UPS or the US Postal Service?

you can choose either one under your shipping options. either way, it comes in an envelope and not in a box. UPS has a tracking number, USPS is faster and cheaper. they are both about as graceful with their handling (which is to say, they're clumsy buggers).

anyone remember if fed-ex is an option?

I just did a dummy order and cancel it and got this

Please Select a Shipping Method
UPS Ground ($6.81)
UPS 3 Day Select ($9.39)
UPS 2nd Day Air ($10.81)
UPS Next Day Air ($24.78)

I think I used USPS when I ordered mine Last year though. Note prices will probably be different

actually, now that you mention it, i think i remember an old thread about them scrapping USPS from the shipping options a few months ago.

I ordered by UPS regular and got the game in two working days. I live on the east coast so I think it must ship from the east coast. Its at least 5 days UPS to west coast.

I'm pretty sure mine came (back in december) from USPS. Which I like because it's cheap and generally faster than UPS, unless you pay for overnight shipping.
