I found on the forums that back in 08 guys got two packages from UPS about a day apart and they arrived a little over a week before the class start date. Does that still sound right?
I got mine within about a week of starting via US mail. About half the folks in my indoc class didn't get theirs before they arrived for indoc. Not something to worry about. It will indeed allow you to access DeltaNet, but you may find that without a buddy to help you over the shoulder, it may be difficult to navigate to and understand the products - at least to the extent to influence a decision about what to take, should you be lucky to have a choice.
My understanding about the stuff that came via UPS was for existing pilots who bid into a new airframe getting their paper manuals. No longer. These days, all they send out is a thumb drive with the pubs and computer based training lessons. For New Hires, they give you that near the end of the first week of indoc.
Hope that helps.
