Thanks for listening
Unless a vendor's main form of business is mail order, then the shipping could take any amount of time. And I am extra wary of anything associated with dealers. I know there are some good one's out there, but I would not order if I was in a hurry. And it's possible that they are knocking it out of the park 99.9% of the time, but your order was the one order that gets botched out of every 1000 orders.

There's a Porsche dealer in Sarasota, FL that does a lot of mail order for parts, and their shipping is pretty speedy, but they still aren't going to hold a candle to Amazon.
