I've gotten spoiled by quick shipping!
I recently ordered some precuts that were on sale. It is now the 5th working day since the order, and all they have managed to do is produce a label (item is still not accepted by USPS). Amazon has ruined my ability to wait, which, when fabric is involved, wasn't too good to begin with!

Isn't it amazing how fast we can get stuff nowadays?
Shopping online I've always been happy with eQuilter, one time there was a "delay" of an extra day before getting my order out and I got an email update on that.
I live about 15 miles between both the Amazon HQ/North Bend and the Kent Facility. We've used the same day feature for a computer part we couldn't get at the Fry's down the road.
I am totally spoiled when it comes to deliveries, now if I could be a little more spoiled on having expendable cash then things would be even better!

Do you remember mail ordering? Write on the order form, enclose your check into their envelope.
You'd get your items in about 6 weeks.
It is unreal now. Order things on Monday get them in the driveway the next day (depending on proximity of vendor, naturally).

I love amazon Prime! I love the free delivery, though you do have to watch because other stores my have it for far less and even with shipping it is less. Prime paid for itself within a month. And now I get it for 1/2 price and that makes it even more affordable. I purchase almost all my fabrics via amazon anymore or any store that will give me reasonable shipping and can deliver in one day. I am spoiled in that way.

My favorite yarn source, LoveCrafts.com, will have the yarns I order in my hands in 2-3 days from ordering.

It's amazing isn't it, how fast we get items these days. I placed an order for a bolt of fabric from fabric.com, one Sunday afternoon, Tuesday morning it was sitting at my door. Wonder if they sold out and are waiting for more to come in. You could always inquire to see if you get a response.
