I ordered an Advent calendar as a surprise for my husband on October 4th. There was an option to pick a delivery date, and I picked November 3rd, when my husband would be away on business. On November 3rd I stayed home all day, but nothing arrived. I called Beer Hawk, and it appeared that my order hadn't even been shipped yet. The invoice says that 'on rare occasions our couriers may take a little longer', so my only order from BH was that rare occasion. I guess this line should be understood as 'nobody knows when you're going to receive your order'. I'm leaving myself soon, so whenever the calendar arrives, my husband will have to receive it, and it will ruin the intended surprise. Great job, Beer Hawk. Especially with your promoted Christmas item.
