Was yours an email & credit card order?

Mine was a money-order & snail mail - the 2-week turnaround is from the
day I *mailed* the letter here in Canada, to when I got the full order
back from Irreg! Irreg must have recieved, filled & mailed my order
nearly
on the same day, given the shipping distance involved...

My best turnaround on North American orders is maybe 3-4 weeks, and
that's
with credit cards & email... OTOH, my local store is pretty small and
(understandably) reluctant to order stuff from odd companies who aren't
on
their regular wholesale lists.
