I usually get my stuff in about 5-7 business days.

It depends on what was ordered. Most items are delivered in a week or less. If we have run out of something or it is drop shipped from a slow supplier it could take a little longer. Items that we stock (mostly consumables) are usually shipped within 24 hours, some go UPS and lighter packages are sent via Priority Mail. The mailed items will usually arrive within 3 days after the order is placed.

The slowest items are anything drop shipped from Neoterik (now Global Secure Safety) they are quite slow. We've actually considered dropping them from the site. Sometimes a Dura-Block order can take over a week if it needs to be drop shipped from Washington state to a delivery several thousand miles away but most other items take a week or less.

We can keep prices fairly low because we don't stock larger items but this also means that we are at the mercy of our shippers. Since we've been doing this for about 10 years now we have dropped the really slow ones and added fast ones or shippers that have several locations around the country. Most of the warehouses we deal with have locations in 6 to 10 citys around the country so that items are delivered a couple days after ordering but some products need to come from one source. If we need to stock the items we also need to raise the price so we like having many things drop shipped.

We advise that you pay the price for Second Day Delivery if you need the items quickly.

We usually have that Stripping Combo in stock but we ran out recently and we have had the last couple drop shipped from the Atlanta GA. area. It's shipped UPS ground usually within 24 hours. Drop me a PM with the name used on the order and I'll get a tracking number for you.
