- 4:00a
- 4:0020
- 4:00year
- 4:00ago

- 4:06surcharges,
- 4:06delivery
- 4:07area
- 4:07surcharges.
- 4:08There
- 4:08was
- 4:08lots

- 4:17Triple
- 4:17the
- 4:17expectation
- 4:18of
- 4:18alternate
- 4:19delivery
- 4:19providers.
- 4:20So
- 4:20technology
- 4:21has
- 4:21really
- 4:21allowed
- 4:22both
- 4:23us
- 4:23as
