Disklavier

Hi Troy,

I've just place an order(Order Number:1062028).

Shipping mode selected was DHL Courier for US$35.

Any idea if I'll receive the items in 2-3 days like you mentioned? Does that mean I'll receive the items on Monday? Or later because should be 2-3 working days?

Thanks & Regards.
