Just trying to get an estimate on how long it takes everyone to get their order. Not that I have had any problems with mine,just to bring the good word to Steve,mark and the team. 
How long did it take you to get your order from V4L?

Good point...please dont count the weekend if you placed on a friday. Only business days please.
Almost always 2 days from the ship date which is generally the day after ordering. Once it was 3 days from ship confirmation. To North Atlanta.
So total time from ordering is typically 3 days.

Only ordered 3 times so far but each time I got it in 3 days. With any shipping company your location makes a big difference. My orders arrive in Tampa around 4-6 am so they make it over here to St Petersburg in time for that day's delivery. If you lived in Sarasota for instance and Tampa was the nearest hub to them you wouldn't get your order till the next day
The closer you are to the nearest hub the less likely your order would be delayed. If they send a truck from Chicago to Tampa every day there is going to be times an truck is going to be late due to traffic, weather, equipment breakdown.
I hate waiting on an order that takes extra time from any shipping company but really it is amazing how fast packages are ship'd in the majority of the times. A quick map quest and it takes 19 hours just in driving time.

Mine take 4 days, last order was on a Monday and I received it on Friday. I did get one in 3 days. Guess its up to the mailman!
When I order on the weekend, I get my order on Friday. I also live in Canada, so that shows you how much these guys rock.
Although it has varied a couple of times, I almost always get it on the second day after it ships.
I've ordered from them twice and both times it came in 2 days. I was amazed considering most places I order from take 3 or 4 days.
I placed my first order on Wednesday using the Express Method. Normally when I choose express shipping and pay $30 I expect to see it in 2 days. Chicago to near Philadelphia you think would be 2 days, but it's day 2 and no package for me. I was really looking forward to using it all weekend. Let me say V4L held up their end and customer service e-mails were answered right away and they went above and beyond to provide me with tracking information. I placed the order Wednesday and they shipped it Wednesday. The hold up was in Chicago. Wednesday night it said the package left Chicago on 1/20. Then Thursday night it updated again and said the package left Chicago on 1/21. I called USPS and they couldn't tell me anything, just said it was weird and to wait until 3:00, their second delivery time, but normally my work doesn't get two mail visits per day. None the less, I'm still excited and can't wait to be rid of my analogs!
First order -- shipped on a monday/ got here on the following wednesday but it was MLK day so in total: 7 USPS days(including saturday)
Second order -- shipped on a wednesday(the same day i ordered!). got here on a friday: 2 USPS days!
Don't go by the USPS tracking, my first one said it was in chicago for 6 days then on the 7th day it had finally arrived in tampa(no doubt they mis-sorted my package) and the second one said electronic shipping info received for 2 days than this morning it was like arrived at post office!

I ordered Wednesday afternoon and received shipping confirmation within 90min. Went from order submission to doorstep in less than 48 hours.
Gotta say..it doesn't get much quicker than that.
