What's the point?

I ordered my upgrade from Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 to Sonar 2.0 today, and asked if by any chance it could be shipped in time to reach me Thursday.

"No," replied the salesdroid, "our standard shipping is 5-7 business days."

"You can't ship it overnight?" I asked.

"Well, we do have an express order," he conceded. "It'll cost $30, and it'll get there in 4-6 business days."

What, these folks have never heard of FedEx? Or UPS? Or even USPS Priority Mail? Sorry, but $22 extra for one day earlier just isn't worth it.
