Whee! Outlaw called to say that they would try to ship my 990 today, Monday at the latest.
I'm anxious so I sprang for overnight shipping, and they noted that it would be much cheaper if they sent the swag (cap and t-shirt) regular mail (which they do for free) and the 990 overnight, so I said "sure".
I just figured that they'd stuff the swag into the 990 box, but I suppose they're not set up to do that, which would mean another package, and another overnight charge of "$x plus $y per pound" with x being significant for small packages.
