Some of us are old enough to remember when a BRO order took six weeks

The order I received in the mail today took a little more than four
weeks.

Changing the subject slightly...

I don't care how long it takes (within reason). What annoys me is when
I order two or three items, and all but one are out of stock, and
they send me the one in-stock item with the full $6+ shipping
charge, making the one item not such a bargain. I realize it's
a low-overhead operation, but when that happens they ought to
give you the option of canceling/postponing the order until
it can be combined with some other (hopefully in-stock) items.
