...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.
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.
