I re-entered the motor cycle world in May of 06. I was surprised to find out how slow many mail order motorcycle vendors are in getting the job done. 4 to 6 weeks to get product is not unusual, in my limited experience.
I was watching a History of the railroads and the first trans continental rail line, and wondered, if you mailed a letter of order coast to coast back then, it might take two weeks to get there, and two weeks for the product to get back to you.
I ordered a vest from BritishMotorcycling.com on April 9. Still don't have the item, and only got a report after a number of emails to them. It is supposed to ship Monday. I admit I've been spoiled by the shipping service of folks like Newegg, and Dell back in the 90s, when they were trying hard to do a good job, but 5 to 6 weeks to buy product in this age is curious. If it's a Winter order and an extreme price break, (like the RAMP saga) I don't mind, but full retail is another story.
