It's been a while since I bought anything through shop@home, and thus have a
question.  Last night I bought some train track for my christmas layout, which
I was planning on setting up over thanksgiving weekend.  Now, the order guy
said that it'd be about 2 weeks.  Is he serious?  I must have my track this
weekend, or the world as we know it will end!

(...) I usually get quoted 5-10 days (that might be buisiness days). The longest I have waited so far has been a week. If your order is small enough, it sometimes ships Priority instead of UPS, in which case it will get to you in 2-4 days (depending (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

I have almost never had a order from them take more than 3 days. For example, I last called Thursday afternoon(4pm) for one of the specials. It arrived sat morning around 11, just as my wife was telling me that she thinks I should cut down a bit on (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
  Re: How quick does shop@home ship?
 
As other have already stated, S@H always quotes the 5-10 day figure (I think that is business days). When I mentioned to the S@H Rep the other day that I always got mine in 2-3 days, she said that it really just depended where in the country you (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
