michaeljenn Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I placed my order last Friday, and have still not received a shipment notice!! I was just curious how long it has taken for your order... sigh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I placed an order by mail about a month ago and received the order within two weeks. I assume since it is getting closer to school time that orders may be taking a bit longer. I hate waiting for books. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 If you call, they will give you an update. It's possibly that one or more of your books is backordered and thus holding up the rest of your order from shipping. I've placed two orders this season and received shipping notices in just under a week from the time of placing the order. It seemed to be much faster than in years past.

LarlaB Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Yes, I ordered last week. BUT, something is out of stock. They sent me an email yesterday informing me that one of my items is back-ordered so the other 14 things I ordered are also going to be delayed'.....after 5 days of waiting for the back-ordered item to come back in stop, they said they'd ship the other things. :) I guess I'm spoiled w/ Amazon prime, and living so close to an Amazon distribution site where a lot of things arrive in 1 day.

I had the same thing happen. Even when I don't have back orders their shipments take a long time to get to me. Whenever possible I will choose Amazon or several other companies because they have more reasonable shipping times. Rainbow is a last resort for me because of the back order policy, and packaging/shipping time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I was worried about this, too, since I waited so long to order for the coming year. But I placed my very large order at the beginning of last week and everything arrived today. Nothing on back order. I was quite pleased.

I've placed two orders this season and received shipping notices in just under a week from the time of placing the order. It seemed to be much faster than in years past. I just placed an order and the next day they sent me an email notifying me that an item was backordered and would hold up the shipment of the rest of the order. The last time that happened, I didn't get an email and had to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfinlady Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I ordered on 7-21, and just received a shipment notice today. Looking at the tracking page, it seems to have actually shipped yesterday, and UPS should bring it to me tomorrow! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I pay an extra $10 every time I place an order with them and then my order automatically goes to the front of the line and is shipped out within 48 hours....no waiting for back ordered items. Just ask for "expedited warehouse handling." Diane W. married for 22 years homeschooling 3 kiddos for 16 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I ordered on July 11 and my order came in on the 16th with no extra charge for shipping! I was suitably impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
