How long do you think it will take for my Bernie Sanders swag to arrive?

Hello fellow Builders..
Yesterday I ordered a yard sign and some stickers from the Bernie Sanders store.
Today I got a message that my order had been shipped via USPS priority mail.
That means that I should get them before next Wednesdays organizing meeting, right?

1. Wow. I've got friends who have waited a month, and still no gear.

I cheer them up by telling them Bernie is so popular that their merch operation is swamped.

10. Well, they didn't tell me mine was being sent, just that they'd got my order.

I got stickers, a sign for my window, and a shirt. So maybe it's the shirt holding mine up.

5. Should be soon. Some things are still on back order so some items are taking a while.

Another "problem" is that they are having to also provide stuff for the THOUSANDS (sorry, couldn't help myself!) that are at those rallies.

Not really an excuse but they just can't keep up with demand.

As part of my order, I got a blue sticker and a white one...put the blue one on my car and will save my white one, to enlarge to 8.5 x 11, and make color copies.

one of the free stickers numerous weeks back. On July 6 I received an email from "Team Bernie" that they were in the process of printing hundreds of thousands of stickers and I should check my mail in about 3 weeks. I just looked at the calendar and - I'll get it some time next week.

Since you got a notice that your order has been shipped, i would think you'd get it before next Wed.

of July 29 Events.

The small events will get bumper stickers, the larger ones will get "extras".

So they have to add that into their packing queue.

There are thousands of events with over 75,000 attendees so far!
