Robin: How about putting the current quarterly flying online as a
downloadable PDF at your web site?
Many times I've wanted to show someone a couple of things, and didn't have
the flyer with me.
While your search utility works just fine, it's sometimes hard to remember
all the items I wanted to show someone.

Not strange at all...most efficient way is to get into larger
distribution centers, then fan out to the smaller. How many packages
out of the full load are destined for Grass Pants as it's going by? How
long would it take to stop and get that <one> out of all the others?

Cross country is about a week for most anything by UPS, FedEx Ground. USPS
has a two or three day deal at reasonable cost, but they don't often make
the time schedule. UPS does have a 3 day service at "reasonable " cost
compared to air.
I buy tea from a place in Calgary and it is sent Canadian post and it takes
10 to 14 days.
Once in a while you hit the connections just right. One Saturday afternoon
I put a small package in my mailbox and the carrier pickup was about 4:00
PM. I got an email from the recipient that it was delivered in LA at 10:00
AM on Monday. All that for about a buck.

Although I once ordered something from a place in New Jersey that went to
Texas, then Alabama, then Michigan, then New Jersey, then Kentucky, then
Oregon, then Wyoming, then New Jersey, then Texas, then North Carolina,
then finally got here something like four weeks later.
That was an amusing package to track, since I was getting it well in advance
for a far-off gift, and getting it fast wasn't a priority. I probably got
some of the states wrong in that list above, but it did go all across the
country, and it went back to the point of origin at least twice. Getting
put on different out-going trucks each time I presume. Kept routing it
wrong or something. Dumbasses. That was FedEx.

It used to take a minimum of 2 weeks via UPS, but now that they're
using FedEX, the shipping time is 6-10 days, with a week being the
norm. I'm glad they switched. Now if they'd just lower the price of
the medium shoulder plane to $89 or $99, I'd get one. ;)
All UPS shipments here take an extra day. Even stuff coming up I-5
goes 250 miles past us up to Portland, then back to the distribution
center in Roseburg, then down here to Grass Pants. VERY strange.

Just an update; I was wrong -- shipment arrived today. So, from 1 pm in
Phoenix on Friday to 0900 Saturday in Tucson on my doorstep. No complaints
here.

I bought two tail vise screws and one shoulder vise screw (great
quality!), those were slow enough but the s/h cost is like "I don't mind
then" for that kind of weight. I had disregarded ordering the handles, I
did that and added a forstner bit, took quite a while.

Rob, I would also strongly suggest the shipping option of USPS insured
priority postage with barcoded labels, that would be great because I hate
to wait 1-1/2 to 2 weeks for fed-ex ground to deliver small items I need,
it would help a lot.

Patriarch -
Lee Valley Mobile for my PDA? Would that be a PITA? PETA? Christ, I get
in enough trouble with the regular catalog.... I can't imagine the
imposition of having to watch my driving skills while I'm trying to get some
IMPORTANT items ordered, during a run down Doyle Drive.
Priorities, Schmiorities.... Bah! Hey - by the way... How the hell are
you??

Takes about 1 week to Tucson. Most recent order was placed on Sunday,
shipment occurred Monday, Feb 14, with delivery (according to FedEx
website) scheduled for Tuesday Feb 22. Last time I ordered (in January),
FedEx beat their estimate by 1 day. My latest shipment shows as arriving
in Phoenix at around 1 pm today. It might show up tomorrow (that's the
nice thing about Fedex, they deliver on Saturday), more likely it will be
Monday. Can't really complain about 8 days delivery.

Don't let the few dollars hold you back on this plane. SWMBO bought it
for me as a present about a year back and it is one of the best machined
tools I've had the pleasure of using.
