Certainly the cost of 5 Heineken's is worth a chance to hear one of the worlds best CD players, with an option to buy.

As I said, they do
not have a guarantee to ship within a maximum of 3 days. They, like UPS have shipping regions, where some places will receive items faster if they are closer. So naturally, if you ship something to a place that is just in the next town, of course it will get there in one day.
FedEx has not changed their ground shipment speed. But I do agree that they are quite reliable, as far as package handling is concerned. But in my experience, their shipment time has not been any faster. A package I shipped recently to Florida took 5 business days, not 3.
