Thanks for the link, Dave, and the heads-up about the multiple warehouses.
They are not the only ones who engage in that sort of behavior.  I'd really
like to know in advance where a vendor will ship from.  Newegg has multiple
warehouses and if they ship from Edison NJ, I usually get it overnight while
only paying standard UPS ground rates. If they ship from CA it can be up to
a week.  Worse still, there's no way (that I can see) to tell where it will
come from in advance.  I'm going to test the concept with the various AC
wallwarts I rounded up from the junkbin for starters.
