New Years Shipping Freeze?

So for Christmas I ordered a new monitor from Newegg the Asus 22inch Widescreen on the 26th of December. The price included FREE THREE day shipping via UPS. By the way I have always received poor service from UPS. They are usually never on time, but this order is beyond poor. The order immediately on the 27th changes to Rescheduled for 1/5/2009. If I had any idea that it would have required me to wait 9 days I would have purchased the equivalent monitor from Best Buy. The first thing that comes to mind is wow am I really that impatient? No it's about the principle of me giving money immediately and waiting almost 10 days to receive the product. It also made working from home a royal pain on the 17inch monitor when working in Visual Studio. It was a scrolling nightmare that drove me up the wall. I also ordered the book for my Web Programming class that starts in a week and it was also delayed from DHL. So I now understand that holidays means nothing will be shipped between Christmas day and the 5th of January. This will be something to keep in mind for next year. Happy Shipping!
