The afternoon I wanted to order my 6 candles, it was late in the day. Ordinarily, the USPS (UPS?) guy would have been at Keystone already but he actually came as I was talking to Carol (I've already sent a note of thanks to the company). She hurriedly packaged the two orders and probably asked the delivery guy to wait, which he obviously did because I got the order in time for my grandson's birthday. Of course, I had to pay dearly for shipping costs because it was priority mail. I've used one of the musical candles so far and it was a huge success.
