Guys thinking about FS on 09 Buffs ?

I expect I'll get my Buffaloes on Tuesday but obviously there isn't enough time to open the package and look at them and still make PCGS with registered mail.
I'm tight on funds right now and the whole holiday/USPS issues has me wondering if it is really worth the hassle to send the coins in in the original shipping box.
I'm sure a lot of guys have gotten shafted by the Mints huge delay after ordering on the first day and that has to be keeping the FS low and the potential premuim up.
Any thoughts?
Keep them in the box and wait a while or, open them up incase there is a QC issue and a coin needs to be sent back and sacrafice the FS.
Don't get me wrong, I take little pleasure from a coin in a cardboard box, I would enjoy opening the package. This isn't a question with flipping in play but more of a maximizing my investment question.

You have until Dec 3, postmark date, not receiving date. Plenty of time yet. You can also use Express mail, insurance cost is about the same.

Great, I thought it had to be at PCGS before the 3rd. That changes a lot. Thank you
