Anyone know how long it typically takes to get an order from Van's? I'm not talking airplane kit or anything that has to built. I found out last weekend that my plane is missing those 12 bolts in the fuse that was prevalent with QB kits (even though mine isn't a QB) so I wanted to order the bolts, washers and nuts from Van's. When I called Van's they said they couldn't guarantee I'd have them by the weekend (one week later) so I just ordered an o-ring and a flash drive with the RV-8 plans (all fits in an envelope).
I ordered it on Monday and today 4 days later it still hasn't even shipped. I called to confirm they got my order and they said yes. As a comparison I placed the bolts & nuts order (plus oil, CO detector, and a whole mess of other things) on Aircraft Spruce the following day (Tuesday) and it already arrived today (2 days later) with free shipping. Is this normal for Van's?
