Don't get me wrong, they shipped the day the charge posted to my account.
They don't do billing directly and whoever they use sends them a check (or
at least this was the case a few months ago). It took almost a week from
when I entered my payment info via their auction directions and when the
money was taken from my account.
I live in eastern PA and I could have driven to their office in NJ and been
back within a few hours.
