Yes, recently it seems to be slowing down. I thought vendors had only 3 days to ship but even that isn't always correct. Maybe it's because a lot is shipped by USPS to save money! I wish they would implement a shipping program that would correct this!
I do most of my shopping online too and QVC and Amazon are my two choices. But with Amazon I get 2 day shipping which I would love from QVC! Yes I pay for the shipping once on Amazon but I share that expense with family members!
Oh, and the tracking here is awful. It isn't updated daily or at all. Many times I receive my item while it still tracks as being in N. Carolina? What??
