F
friday
I ordered my samples and now I need to know how impatient I need to get. How long did yours take to arrive?
 
I ordered them in two installments - one took 6 days, one took 8 - just to SHIP. Not bad, considering, but made me mighty impatient!
 
friday
when did u order them?
usually only takes around 3 days to get here but im just outside toronto.
ur in sarnia right? if you ordered them on friday you will likely have them by tues
 
It seems like forever! I am taking into consideration the new season. They must be slammed at the HO!
 
It took about 10 days almost till they were at my door!
 
I think they're more caught up now. Many of us ordered right when they were available, and the warehouse was probably slammed. It shouldn't take that long now.Of course, as soon as I say that, something will happen, and it'll take 2 weeks. ;)
 
I"m slow I still haven't ordered mine:P

I ordered them on Friday after making a chart and shifting funds from one place to another, and forcasting incomes, and making some outside order sales until I felt I could order it and still keep the bills paid. I still need to do some outside orders to finish off.
My last show- a fundraiser- was submitted on Tuesday morning and arrived on Thursday afternoon. That would be BRILLIANT. I want to start playing with design and display ideas that are rolling around in my head!!
 
I placed my order on Mon. the 13th and it showed received for DAYS! Then picking for a couple of days. Finally this morning I got an e-mail that the shipping info. had been posted. Usually takes 3 or 4 days after that. Placed a supply order the same day and it has a bridal apron I NEED next weekend, hope it shows up in time!
 
I ordered mine on the 7th and recieved them on the 18th.
 
I am planning on ordering mine today.

I did however place a personal order for the new 29 minutes to dinner cookbook (too impatient to wait until September and it was the only thing in a sample package that I wanted) on the 11th and it just shipped today!!!!! UGH!! I wanted that like right after conference!!! LOL!
 
Mine took two weeks just to ship! I would say about 3 weeks total. Too long in my opinion but I know they were workingon end of month shipments for shows when I placed my order.

YIPPEE!! The tracker says OUT FOR DELIVERY!!! They should be here by 2pm!! YIPPEE!!! So ordered on Friday, here on Wednesday!! Pretty good I'd say!! I will have trouble doing things rather than sitting on my step watching for my UPS guy. I better clear some space up in the kitchen so I can put this stuff neatly away, or DH will have a BIRD when he realizes how much stuff I bought (SIX boxes!!)
