Hi, we're sorry your took some time to reach you. Our ship out times are 3-5 business days as most businesses' are. Your order was placed at the end of business on the 14th (Friday) and shipped out on the 17th (Monday -- our first day back from the weekend). You did not, in fact, choose Rush Processing (that's where you pay extra for us to Rush it out the door). But, yes, you did pay for FedEx Ground Shipping. We attempted to ship it out as a 2-Day ship, which is an upgrade of the shipping you chose. Which you'll be able to see now that your package was delivered (around the time of your posting this, according to FedEx) Ground had a 'G' on the label and 2-Day express has an 'E'. We are uncertain why this package took more time to reach you. However, at all time, you could have kept an eye on it with the tracking link that was sent to you. If you wish to reach out to FedEx to ask them why the delay, you are most welcome to. In the meantime, Have a wonderful day and please enjoy your Anise Squares.
