I sent them a note and asked about the timeline, and also asked why they didn't offer me an easy way to cancel the rest of the order. The reply was that they didn't know when I would get it and that I couldn't cancel by computer - I would have to call.
I replied and told them that I was dissatisfied by the response and by the expectation that I should have to make a special call to cancel when they can take the order and my money by computer. Then I canceled (by email) and don't plan to order from them again.
I had an item that was backordered, no estimate on delivery date. But in my searching, several places had discontinued the item I ordered. I didn't expect to ever see it. Three or four months later it showed up...no email, just happened to see the debit in my bank account. I didn't have very good experience with their customer service either. Ask a question and the answer didn't go with the question. Love their catalogs, but haven't shopped there since.
Like others have said, many places will ship so quickly I'll have my order in 2-3 days.
