I ordered the 2011 Specialized US catalog on the 6th of this month.
I found out that just TODAY, the post office has been notified it's coming. Amos Press says that "DHL" gathers the packages and brings them to the post office.... !! EIGHT days!! I could have walked to them picked it up and walked home in less time then that.

/end rant.

Interesting. On an earlier purchase, they had shipped my catalog set to me flat rate via FedEx. I was really surprised, because I had expected it shipped to me via UPS.

Unfortunately, since the Scott catalogs contain paid advertising for which they derive revenue, Amos cannot mail them via media mail.

I thought DHL no longer provides service in the U.S. as it was hard hit by the recession? I could be wrong, but I thought I did read something in the news about them pulling out of the U.S.
