My last order took 8 days "awaiting fulfillment", then 2 days to ship. I've made 2 other ebay purchases that took 3 days total. With Niagara's (and everyone else's) shipping costs having gone up recently, shipping cost and order time is becoming my new criteria. But, sadly, I think I've ordered my last from Niagara. No good reason for a big retailer to take 8 days to ship something.
