Sort of a big deal.. depending on when you ordered, 1-2 weeks would be 25-50% of your bill! That's messed up.
EDIT: Ah, when it *ships*.. still, that's sounds like skimming to me... extra couple bucks times tens of thousands of customers...
Yeah, I see your point; I was just thinking that I will be getting mine on Monday. But, right, what if it ships and you don't get it for 5 or 7 days for some reason.
I think regardless, billing should begin on activation, not when it ships.
