Thanks Kezygirl. They must be busy. I hate having to wait 2 days for them to ship. I place an order early Tuesday morning and the order is processed on Wednesday. If they don't actually get it in the Mail until Thursday morning and it ships via 2-day service, then it would be delivered on Saturday. Since I have all my shipments delivered to my business address and we are not opened on Saturday, that means I get it on Monday. And, the mail doesn't arrive at the office until about 3pm.

The end result is that an order I place on Tuesday morning arrives 6 and half days later. I wish they would process orders quicker and allowed either a UPS or FedEx Ground option. I own a manufacturing company and we ship all orders placed by 3pm the same day with very little automation. We simply pull each order as it arrives, so by the shipping cutoff time, all orders are ready to go. It simply takes a good system to process and ship orders on a timely basis.

I'm in Norcross and if I get a ship notification on a Tuesday for an order I placed on Monday I almost always get it in the box on Thursday. I consider Tuesday to Thursday 2 day shipping and that's what happens nearly every time.

Back when V4L was filling 30-40 orders a day they would get some out the same day as the order. At going on 200 orders a day or more it's a little tougher.

From what I've seen, it always ships the same day that you get the Order Shipped email.

Thanks Leeshor and Randytrx. I guess if my business was growing that fast, it would be tough to keep up. I wish I had their problems - customers wanting product quicker than they can get it out the door.

The problem I have is that there stuff is so good, I have to have it ....NOW.

Hey Leeshor, I work in Norcross and live in Lilburn. Perhaps, we can do lunch sometime.

Change your order day. If you order on a Saturday or Sunday then for the most part you can always count on your order shipping Monday and you will receive Wed. or Thursday.

They also have the option for you to have express mail.

Or you can do what i did and purchase a couple Thousand worth of product and have anything you may want or crave handy for whenever you need it. Now when i order its because i "want" something...not because i need it.

Sorry, guys. As some have noted I have been very busy on this order. We are trying to get over 400,000 carts and 120,000 bottles, plus over 30,000 batteries and passthroughs finished before everyone closes on the 10th! :shock:

If you need some help, I'll be glad to move to China & lend a hand....

Better be careful there might be a Bucs fan that lives in the same town you do that might take exception to that statement.

I am... Been a difficult year. I hear Tony Dungy is back in town.

My 2 favorite sports moments:

Brett Favre (Green Bay) dropping back to throw a pass.
Warren Sapp helping him up after the sack. :D
