Fair point. "Ground" in that case just means "not expedited", which really means "not super expensively".
I'm told our warehouse is set to receive the tins on the 21st. They'll have to be checked in, inventoried, inspected, etc, and then boxed up and shipped off to you all. We hedged and said by the 28th, but we're pretty sure it'll be appreciably sooner than that.
When your actual box ships to your actual address, we'll be able to tell you what the estimated delivery date is and whether there is a tracking number (not usually for international, but sometimes we have some extra info if you email customer service). Fair warning: we've been having trouble with a terrible bug where shipping confirmations are not reliably being sent. I built this as a stop-gap while we continue you track that nasty regression down:

I haven't seen how the Tin will be packaged in the box that goes out, but the people that are in charge of that care very much about not wrecking your nice new things, so I'm sure it will be as safe as is practical. I'll see if I can get some more details on how that will look when everyone is back in the office.
