This is a bit of a rant, but what is it with the time it takes vendors to get orders out the door? Three, four days is not uncommon. Add shipping time and that means you have to order something 1-1/2 to 2 weeks out.
So many other markets routinely get products out within a day or two. Not even talking about the Big Guys (ie Amazon) that ship the same day; not a fair comparison.
I've ordered from Northern Brewer and AHS before but am tired of wondering whether my order is going to take 2,3,4+ days to send out.
Business strategy note for stores that want to gain market share; promise that you'll get orders out within a set time (1 or 2 days) or you'll give a decent discount. Fulfill this by having the support staff available. Increased sales will more than pay for it.
There seems to be industry malaise with order processing time. Maybe as consumers its our fault because we tolerate it.
My $.02.
