Not sure why he said priority mail would have made my $1500 order a $1600 order, but yeah, if given the option I would have paid $10 or $20 extra to upgrade from ground advantage to priority just for the added reliability (in my experience) and speed. I'm definitely not asking now (for future orders) as I dont want Tracy linking my TG with my handle here and have him ban me from ordering lol Hopefully I didn't piss him off too much. I almost feel honoured to have been on the receiving end of a classic Tracy reply.
I realize a tiny $1500 order is peanuts compared to the 5 figure orders they probably get fairly regularly, but I still think it's worthy of priority mail shipping. Just my opinion, don't hate me for it. Not a deal breaker by any means.
