I've had shipping like that before, i think some retailers notify the post office that items will be entering their system shortly. Hope that's the case with your order.
I got my postage refund from Eddy @ EK yesterday, and my replacement block is on its way as well! Quick turn around!
So what r they now? 6870 blocks?
how do they look ? .... someone did suggest plexi was the way to go, because there is no hiding a bad finish when you can see through half the block
