I ordered on Tuesday, it arrived on Friday. And I'm overseas.

I think it can depend on what pickup you order. Single coils tend to be quicker than humbuckers.

Nope. By the time you remember to check it, it'll probably be there the next day if not hidden by your relative folk just to spite you and see you burst into tears that you wasted your money and nothing has appeared.

Or not.

It was only the postman that slowed mine down. I ordered Irish Tours and Riff Raffs on a Saturday, they arrived the next Wednesday when we weren't in, and I had to organise a redelivery on the Saturday.

I was very impressed with the turn-around - the order included a new scratchplate with non-standard wiring. It had obviously been done from scratch rather than resoldering existing stock.

generally depends what you are having.  Standard models are usually out the door quickly.  the wartorn and aged miracle man set i got recently took longer but then it wasnt a standard finish.

although i did order a non-standard humbucker on tuesday and it arrived thursday

Took me a couple weeks each time roughly and I am overseas.  Keep in mind, first Tim has to make them so that's pretty good.
