Now obviously the discounts come and go but the overnight delivery for free is becoming a common thing. The bracket delivery was supposed to be a free 2 day delivery but it was here overnight. Yes its more prevalent around the Holidays and especial this Black Friday Weekend.
Often it's UPS that deserves the kudos.

People think we work some sort of magic with shipping but all we do is ship same day for most orders and set up a late pick up so we can ship orders even late in the day.

UPS works the real magic, getting the packages from us that evening to all of New England, NY, and most of NJ and even further the very next day.

"Ground" shipping from us to anywhere in that range is almost guaranteed overnight.
