Not to derail the "Avalon sucks... but maybe not as badly as everyone is saying" off topic...
but...
Has there been any info on what exactly is the free shipping?
Seemed like there were some open questions about:
1) Sign for delivery
2) Insurance
3) Tracking info
Maybe there was another that someone asked about international to canada or something.
Any word?
Derailing that topic doesn't hurt at all. Answers to most of all those topics have already been posted before...
