AimeeM Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Insist on ordering from RR in the fall, that is. Between back orders and just generally slow shipping, my RR package(s) always take twice as long as packages from everywhere else. Blah. Well, the 11 year old is thrilled that two of her subjects are still missing and I got an e-mail today saying they've shipped finally, but could take 1-2 weeks to be delivered. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterbug Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just smile and remind yourself that at least you aren't in Australia where an RR order would take at least a month for it to reach you, no matter what time of year you are ordering! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 While skeeterbug is right, I'll commiserate. :D I'm waiting on two RR orders...both shipped on 8/31 but I'm guessing neither will arrive today. Which means my children won't have their Latin books for the first day of our Latin School Co-op tomorrow! :willy_nilly: I'd say live & learn, but apparently we never do! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 One of the many reasons I do not buy from RR. Sorry you have to wait even longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hthnmamax2 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm still waiting for the shipping notice on my RR order and I placed it over a week ago. I did get an email telling me something was on backorder but that's all I've received. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Woods Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I just received that same email AND I live in IL. I guess that is what you get for free shipping. :glare: I would be better off driving downstate to get it..... it would be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acablue Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I made my first order from RR a few weeks ago. Still waiting.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I always order the second week of July and my package is usually here about 10 days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I tried ordering IEW-A and Prima Latina from CBD, but it was backordered until the end of this month. I then tried RR and it's only backordered until this week, so I went with RR. We start our co-op on Monday and something tells me we won't have our books in time. Sigh. I ordered them as soon as I got the book list, but it was already too late. All of the other books I needed for regular school I ordered before July, so at least that's not a problem.

Tohru Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I always procrastinate ordering from them because the shipping takes so long. Then after weeks of procrastinating, I will order elsewhere because of faster shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I usually order in spring and never waited longer than two weeks from ordering to receiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is exactly why I figured it wasn't worth saving the few cents to a dollar difference on the books and ordered from Amazon with prime shipping when I finally figured out what we were doing this year and which books we needed.

Shellers Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm still waiting for the shipping notice on my RR order and I placed it over a week ago... Same here! :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
