Shipping times

I'm just curious as to typical shipping times for you guys.

Tayda... these days I use their express. About 4 days, maybe 3. Beats the two weeks with normal shipping.

OSH... ordered boards on 16/12/2013, shipped on 31/12/2013, arrived 11/1/14 ("priority airmail"). So four weeks, roughly, from order to in my hot little hands.

Smallbear, usually two weeks. Sometimes, it's four.

Mouser, two to four days. These guys are like lightning.

I was keeping a record of all the places I ordered from using the Free or cheapest shipping just to see the time frame. I will do the same with 2nd tier shipping and compare. I do believe with some places like small bear and Tayda, size of order holds up on "processing" time. Take them more time to locate all the parts and part counts and get them bagged. Just a thought.

My location: Fresno California USA
Mouser: 1 day to process, 3 days to receive. 4 days total. ($88 order)
Tayda:  2 days to process, 6 days to receive. 8 days total. ($78 order)
Small Bear Electronics: 3 days to process, 5 days to receive. 8 days total. ($98 order)
Adafruit Industries: 2 days to process, 2 days to receive. 4 days total. ($66 order)

I put the order costs to show that it was not 1 or 2 items, but many items.
