just ordered the zombie model over the weekend, and it and all the other models said ships in 3-5 days. Since i am so anxious to get mine and hate waiting for anything , I can't help but wonder do they actually take 3-5 days or is that just giving them plenty of wiggle room. I ordered some ejuice from a site and it said ships in 48 hrs but actually shipped same day I ordered. Just hope it's here before the weekend. any input on how long it took to ship greatly appreciated.

I hope it does too. It is a nerve racking process I'm sure anyone here can sympathize with. Especially the first ProVari. After that, you have the confidence for patience on the second or third, because at least you already have one in your hands and all is well. :D

I am currently trying to resist buying my fourth.

well since I ordered on Sunday I might hope for a wednesday or since I am just wishing might as well wish for Tuesday, thanks for the reply

I ordered a red mini on Sunday! I can't wait to see the status change to shipped. Fingers crossed, maybe tomorrow? I'm not good at waiting for presents. FWIW - I ordered my first one on a Friday and it shipped on Monday.

It just depends on the number of orders they receive on a daily basis, how well staffed they are for the day, etc. I'd much rather tell a new or existing customer it'll ship in 3-5 days and possibly ship it in 1-2 than tell a customer it'll ship the same day, but be behind on orders and have to delay it 2-4 :).

Most businesses don't run more than a few shipments per day, so if you happen to place an order early on, the chances of it going out the same day are better than if you placed it near the end of the business day when the last batch of orders hit the road.

For me, when I do shipments (different type of company, not related to PV's at all), anything before 5:00pm EST goes out the same day in one large run. After 5:00pm EST, it's shipped the next day unless I'm behind and then I'll do a second or third run.

Oh Happy Days!!! It has just shipped!!
First I got an email asking phone number on back of debit card for SECURITY , and the fact that shipping address is different than billing address. I was like dang this is gonna delay shipment. I quickly emailed response, then about 30 minutes later I get email saying Shipped, needless to say I am happy. If I am this happy it shipped I can't Imagine Receiving it!!

You are lucky you were around to reply back quickly, I had placed my order on a Friday, they did not approve my order, until Saturday night, they did not ship my order until the following Friday.

Lucky penrow! Next step: pacing and staring out the window watching for the mailman on Thursday!

My order is still processing...At least that raises the odds that it will ship tomorrow. If it goes out on Thurs. I'll miss the delivery because I have to be in VT on Sat. morning. My usual mailman would take care of me, but the Sat. guy isn't so nice.
