[Elecraft] Order handling

[Don Wilhelm]

Richard,

That delay is stated to "cover all bases" to include weekends.

There are several reasons.
First, there is simply the time to assemble your order and ship it.
Second is the time to process your order and get the paperwork from 
sales to shipping.
Thirdly - yes, you order will be run through a final test before shipping.

Other delays may be possible if some part of your order is not currently 
in stock, and in that event you will be notified and you will be asked 
whether to ship-now, or hold until everything is available.

Shipping time is not included.  Normal orders ship UPS Ground, and if 
you are not in-state for California, UPS can take another 5-7 days to 
arrive.  If you are in a hurry, choose USPS Priority Mail and it will 
take 2 to 3 days.

73,
Don W3FPR
