 Basically, they sell the watch based upon promises from the watch's supplier that the watch will be available. They are 'pre-selling' before actually having stock.

Hey guys-

Never purchased anything from ShopNBC before, but I got the itch and pulled the trigger on something yesterday.

What is up with their "expect delivery by" date policy? I've never come across an e-tailer that assigned such a seemingly random date for delivery like this.

In this case, they're saying two weeks out. Does internal processing/order picking/packing/shipping take that long?

I don't really mind a wait in this case, not a biggie, just wondering if there's any method behind their madness.

Anyone care to comment on their experiences with shipping from this outfit? I cringe at the thought of that Jim jim.s guy finishing up his on-air shift then heading out back to the warehouse to get orders shipped out..... :D

(In any case, they sure were quick to charge my CC!)

Thanks-

Scott
