    Join the club and it does clearly say 3-day fed ex service

    The estimated shipping date is indicated on the configuration page, and is affected by the components you select. Some components may extend the estimated delivery date. Standard shipping is via FedEx 3-day service.

    I think they mean FedEx Saver shipping, which usually takes 2 days but isn't guaranteed. It's a little cheaper than standard 2-day service, possibly a lot cheaper for a high volume shipper like Costco. Newegg uses it by default.

    I have a copy of the webpage from when I ordered on April 10th and it clealy states shipping will be UPS ground.

    I think when they had the ZV6000 on sale they were only offering UPS ground with the discount.

    There was a site selling a lappy.
    But the customers weren't very happy.
    It was nicely equipped,
    But it hadn't yet shipped.
    Costco had better make it snappy!
