Can't beat that. It's not unusual to get stuff from StewMac here the day after I order. |

Yes, but Stewmac -> fedex, -> airport -> transatlantic flight to UK -> clear customs Milton Keynes, England -> local depot Aberdeen (500 miles) -> delivery to me in Inverurie, epic. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Wow! hahahah! That's great. I just live a couple states away and I have gotten deliveries next day but usually it's two. |

It is pretty awesome, how well StewMac understands how to make that happen. It raises the bar for other vendors, that's for sure. I always factor in transit time when I am deciding where to buy an item that multiple vendors carry. StewMac wins my vote a lot of the time, just based on transit time alone. |

90% of the time it’s 1-2 days. Comparatively, I ordered a back and side set on the 7th and got it yesterday, the 16th. I live about 2.5 hour drive from SM’s building. I think the post office must have taken the scenic route.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

TBH, normally small items are arouind 10 days. This one arrived so quickly I hadn't had a good opportuntiy to let the wife know I'd ordered something.

If they get any better at this, we'll be getting stuff before we order it! |

A few years ago I ordered a guitar repair vice from Stewmac around 6 pm on a Saturday evening. It was delivered to me by DHL in Tasmania at 10 am on the following Tuesday morning. I still can't believe it. But Covid wasn't slowing things down back then. |

I bought stuff from Alaska Specialty Woods, arrived faster than I anticipated, you know COVID and all that. |
