No, not really.  According to the CompuServe notice that went out
to Beta Testers the delivery schedule was Monday or Tuesday.

Actually, IBM usually gets things shipped rather quickly even when it is
unnecessary.  Anytime I order something from the IBM NDD BBS I get it next
day Airbourne Express.  Corrective Service Diskettes, Product Literature,
anything.  And at no cost to me.  Regardless of the number of CSDs they
issue.  Unlike most other companies that at least charge for shipping.
