To follow up on this, the item was delivered the following Monday by the 'regular' driver. He apologized for the mistake the sub made, and was made aware of the problem.
As for Charlie and company being behind on shipments, in this economy it is nice to see that a business is so busy that his happens. I can wait for my choo-choos!

Happy to say that today I was told we are caught up with shipping!! Thanks everyone for your patience.
