Not Happy with ShipIt

So you are saying that theses vendors get official/proper/pressed CD's
from Canonical, the same that we get sent for free ? 
If so, then great, it means that shipit already has the
mechanism/infrastructure to offer the choice between fast/not free and
free/waittoolong. So we just need an optional check box on the shipit
order page : "I want to receive them in less than 2 weeks, I want to pay
for this extra service".

Looking forward to seeing this implemented in time for Breezy, as well
as having the possibility to order the DVD :-), which I find very
attractive/convenient, but can't download since I have no DVD writer tp
burn the ISO with...so not much point...
