Does anyone know which shipping carrier Amazon uses for their G5 Powermacs? I tried asking them but they just said they use a variety of shippers. Has anyone received one from Amazon? If so, can you tell me what carrier they used?

I just received a dual 2.3 from Amazon. They have $200. rebates on G5s right now!

They had trouble getting my order shipped for some reason but I called and complained and they gave me free shipping and another $100. off. You never know with them when they will fulfill your order, even if you choose 2nd day or next day shipping-it could take 3 days just to process your order.

How much did Amazon charge for shipping?

u can figure out shipping to your location yourself by adding a G5 to your cart and going through the process. You don't have to click on the final step to place your order if you dont' want to and you wll get a total including shipping.

Thanks for the information. I didn't go too far into it because I was asked for credit card information before I could see if there were any shipping charges.
