That's exactly how my delivery went. Delivered to WA state. I too paid the extra fee. Delivered one week after pickup from Emerald. I was impressed, given customs and all the shipping problems going on recently.

A little late back to my own thread - the guitar did come quickly and I did have the upgraded shipping option. As it turns out through, I am better suited to my X7. I have short arms and play classical style (on left leg, not right) so the regular scale and 14 fret to the body are a bit long for me. I love the guitar enough to have inquired if Emerald could make a short scale Virtuo for me but was told no. So, alas, I am selling it and when they get more koa veneers in stock perhaps I’ll order a short scale slimline X10.
Edit - when you are wrong you are wrong. I sold the Virtuo and was planning on packing it up to ship tonight. I got so sad about it that I went onto Emerald’s website and bought another one. If that doesn’t say how much I ultimately love this guitar, I don’t know what does. Of course it also says I’m nuts. But now I get to rest out the shipping speed again and hopefully will have it within a couple of weeks.

Today's the day for me. It's day 7, and UPS has done everything that y'all said would happen. Now it's scheduled for late afternoon delivery.

The good news - My new Amicus left Donegal on Tuesday and arrived at the UPS depot in Charlottesville earlier this morning (Saturday).
The bad news - The depot is closed on weekends, and I'll have to wait until Monday to pick it up...

Second time around for the Amicus for you, isn’t it? I’ll be interested to hear your reactions this time, having had mine for a while now.

The first one had a rough surface which I couldn't get comfortable with - this one is also basic black but all gloss....

Another Emerald $95 shipping experience - anpost to USPS, delivery in 9 days, tracking all the way. Took a week to get into the post tho on the shipping end, pretty much like my past "expedited shipping" experiences.
