rjand6more Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Placed order w RR Aug 4. It arrived Aug 15. Still waiting on a backordered item. Thought that was pretty good for this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I placed an order w/CBD on the Saturday the 11th, I received notice that it shipped on Monday the 13th, and it arrived today, Friday the 17th. Pretty speedy! :auto: :iagree: It took mine a week as well. I just got it yesterday after ordering last Thursday. But then I had a free shipping code so maybe it took longer than those who pay for shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I ordered a set of books only from Rainbow Rsources -- usually I include some non book items -- and they said they were shipping bound printed matter by DHL and I could expect it in 1-2 weeks. I am not impressed. When they send by UPS ground, I get it very quickly. Note to self: always order a nonbook item from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think CBD shipping is incredible. I order on Tuesday night and by Thursday (Friday at the latest) it has arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've been waiting more than a week for my order from RR. I get so impatient for packages these days. Amazon Prime has spoiled me rotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Sounds like I'd better get ordering then, especially in case I have backorders!!! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are late ordering too...I wonder if we should use Amazon this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 1 week to 10 days for both. Part of it may depend on how close you are to shipping locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawn Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I ordered Saturday, on Tuesday received a notice that one of my items is backordered, so they'll hold my order up to 5 days to see if the backordered item comes in before shipping everything.

I talk to the trees Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The 2 RR orders I just received took 7 and 11 days. The 11-day wait was for a backorder. I think that's pretty quick for their "busy" month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie~Phlox Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I ordered from CBD on Sunday and got it Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Mom Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I ordered from both places last Wednesday. I received the CBD order on Monday and the Rainbow order on Thursday. I thought that was great for this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneddmanybooks Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yes, I am VERY late in ordering this year! And still not quite ready to order yet! We start in three weeks!AGH!!! I was so surprised to find my RR box at the front door today! :001_smile: I ordered on Wednesday. Of course, I live in IL, so I guess that helped.

Annie G Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I ordered dear granddaughter's school materials from Rainbow July 1. After waiting two weeks, daughter called and they said they were holding the order waiting on the backordered items- even though they said they'd hold for up to five days, they were on day 14 and hadn't shipped. She asked for the order to be shipped, and that was received a few days later. The backordered items? They keep changing the date they expect the items to be in. Now they say the end of this month. It's not exotic stuff- pattern block cards and linking cubes. I'm so spoiled- two months seems like a LONG time to wait- and I'm not holding my breath because they were saying mid July, late July, mid-August, now end of August. We'll see.

Tohru Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It always seems to take at least 2 weeks for my stuff to arrive from them, which actually makes me procrastinate ordering and looking to see if I can find it elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawn Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I ordered a set of books only from Rainbow Rsources -- usually I include some non book items -- and they said they were shipping bound printed matter by DHL and I could expect it in 1-2 weeks. I am not impressed. When they send by UPS ground, I get it very quickly. Note to self: always order a nonbook item from now on. Quite a bit of my order was non-book items (c-rods, pattern blocks, binoculars, etc) and my shipping notice said it was being sent bound printed matter through DHL, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I really can't complain because the shipping was free, and prices were my items were great.... but watching the tracking on this package is unbelievable. It's gone to two large cities, in opposite directions, that are both further from me that RR's actual location is.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Placed a RR order on August 13. Received a shipping notice August 16. Anticipate delivery today or early next week based on tracking information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
