3-4 days is reasonable. 8 days isn't IMO.I don't internet order often, but when I do I've had good luck with B3. I'm having problems getting a bulk grain order together and with B3 I found the best deal. Their 10lb grains are priced well and fall within the free shipping criteria (the 50/55 lb sacks don't). The order took 4 days to pick, but they tell you that up front that the free shipping orders can take longer. Just a little planning for lead time and this looks like it will continue to be a good deal.

yeah - assuming NB has what I need next time around I'll probably order from them.I usually have really good luck with Northern Brewer and my most recent order was with Adventures in Homebrewing (in Michigan). Had my keg, CO2 tank and all the pieces parts in 2 days. Of course shipping wasn't free but I thought it was reasonable.

my stuff is still "being picked". it's a good thing I wasn't counting on them to actually ship the items when they said they would.I've ordered lots of stuff from them over the last 4 years, never, ever once had any problems, nothing

normally if you are paying the shipping they would likely ship what they could now and wait for re-stock on any out of stock item and ship it seperately, but since they are paying the freight for those items, they willlikely hold the whole oreder until it costs them the least amount to ship it, especially shipping out of their UPS zoneI've had slow shipping from them a couple times. I'm pretty sure it was only because they were out of stock on some items.

I'll give them one more day at least. If I what am I going to say? Hey guys - get your shit together!Did you call them? That seems to help.

1.) Yes, that's the logical next step.2.) It's been 7 business days and they still haven't shipped his order. They are the ones that owe him a call. It says on the website that their free shipping orders ship within 3-4 business days. No contact after 7 days is a screw up on their side.Did you call them? That seems to help.

they are just past the edge of what they warned me about. here is the timeline:12th: I place the order at the start of B3s business day14th: I receive an e-mail that two items aren't assembled and this will take 1-3 days. Given this I would have expected the 18th to be the latest possible ship day because there is no reason that this delay shouldn't be counting down along with the regular 3-4 day delay that had already started ticking away. Even if I add 4 (normal max) + 3 (assembly delay) they should have shipped yesterday (21st) at the absolute latest.Like I said - I don't NEED any of these parts immediately but it would have been pretty damn annoying if I did. I placed one order the day before this one and one on the same day and I've already had that stuff for a week. One of the items even shipped USPS!!! The other shipped fedex ground.1.) Yes, that's the logical next step.2.) It's been 7 business days and they still haven't shipped his order. They are the ones that owe him a call.
