Wannagotoo,
I didn't enter the last pool, but I purchased certs from volumebuy twice. The first time I received them within five days, and they had been sent through UPS. The second time I had to wait about two weeks, and they arrived via insured first class mail. Perhaps the people at volumebuy decided to cut down on the shipping costs after receiving a deluge of responses?
Oh, and you may recall that I complained about an unauthorized charge from volumebuy; well, the issue was completely resolved after about two weeks. So, overall, I had only minor problems in dealing with them, and they all were solved eventually (wish I could say the same for mypoints

).
