Looks like the Wellness shipped from Pennsylvania and is scheduled to deliver Saturday in fact!
It’s already left Grove City OH 3 hours ago so it looks like it could really deliver today, that’s fast! If it’s not here to-morrow then Monday for sure.
I have a vet appt for one for vaccinations today too.

By the way I applied some math to both feeds and here’s what I came up with:

Nutrilife: (2) 30# bags (60# total) $93.90
Shipping via Speedee $17.00
Total: $110.90

Wellness puppy: (2) 27# bags ( 54# total) $99.90
SHipping via FedEx $0.00
Total: $99.90

The total weight difference is 6# less with the Wellness order, however, when we calculate the total cost per pound of feed with the shipping factored in, we come up with this:

Nutrilife: $110.90 / 60# = $1.848 per #
Wellness: $99.90 / 54# = $1.850 per #

If that’s rounded a bit to normal currency it’s one penny difference per pound in price, mostly due to the $17 for the shipping v/s free shipping.
On the other hand if my supplier in Minn also carried Wellness and I paid $17 to ship 2 bags of that instead of Nutrilife, we come up with:

$116.90

$116.90 / 54# = $2.16 per #

So even though Wellness is about $3 more a bag for 3# less feed, I get a better feed for $6 less per bag
