If you have a Staples nearby, definitely go with them! I use the ship to store a lot (mine is practically next door and I can walk there and not stress over making it home in time to beat UPS) and I've never had an issue there. I think my two orders at Thanksgiving took a little longer to pend, but that was it.

I think that's the same tablet my mom wants for Christmas. She's having surgery followed by a few days to a week in the hospital and wants something to keep her entertained.
