I hesitate to post on threads like this because Pelican is our host but the place I buy my parts from drop ships them from a local warehouse the next day after ordering, almost without exception, and their prices are cannot be beat. Not sure if the speed is the same everywhere in the USA but the supplier they use, (same as PP's main one), is everywhere
afaik.
I don't know what extra step Pelican is adding to slow things down so much...do the parts arrive in a PP box? My stuff arrives in a plain box. I once placed an order in the morning and it arrived the same day.
