Well no, but they didn't do anything yesterday either. Maybe they're waiting for a boat to Finland.

I believe it's air freight too. Do not fret, VeePee - soon, you will hold that Wested in your hands.
As soon as the mail terminal staff tires of trying it on and decides to send it to you...

Today at 8:30 AM a yellow delivery truck came to our house and rang the bell. A beautiful Raiders Authentic Lamb, brand new. Perfect fit. And they didn't even miss anything.
Here's some pics. Click to enlarge.

Was there any particular reason you wanted the gussets?

VP, congratulations. The jacket looks awesome.
It brings back memories of when I have received packages from Wested in the past.
BTW, glad the jacket fits, and I also like your avatar.

Congratulations on the arrival of the best piece of gear! (Okay, that last is the subject of holy wars, but...) I can't wait to join the fraternity of Wested owners! Soon, but not soon enough...

That jacket looks beautiful, VP - Congratulations!
Now, you just have to make it look like YOURS...sleep in it a night or two. Really...I looked cross-eyed at COW when it was suggested to me, but I just fell asleep on the couch watching TV anyway, and it was snuggly warm....zzzzzz....and lo and behold, it already was starting to conform to my shape (couch potato, w/ chives) and getting all nice and wrinkly...another night really set it in.
