Default Corvette Central Timely Shippments?

Last week I ordered some minor parts for the Vette from Corvette Central. First they were on backorder. Then the were quoted as shipping on Monday of this week via 1st Class mail. I live 150 miles from the place. It is now Friday (5 days after quoted shipping) and no mail package. Called them again and they say oh it shipped. I could walk the parts to me in 5 days.

Anyone else experience delays from this vendor?

I have not had problems with them, but it is now a month and a half since I ordered a simple Manual antenna kit from Mid America. I have called twice and twice I have been given a different date in the future when they may receive the backordered part and then ship it to me. So with any luck I will get this antenna 2 MONTHS after I ordered it. Needless to say, I will never deal with them again!!!! :mad

Order from Ecklers, you would have it by now and wondering what to order next.
By the way does anybody know if other vendors give discounts to vette clubs? Ecklers does.
