May be a dumb question. If I ordered a couple BKPs today, when could I expect them to arrive in Calgary, AB Canada? :D
Got a Nailbomb camo cover for my 6 string Charvel custom shop and a Nailbomb 7 string for my Ibanez S7320..

You can expect them in about a week, I believe

It took me 14 days to get my Warpigs with battleworn black finish. I think it depends on how custom they are too. I'm in Wisconsin, USA and Alberta's even further than that. YMMV!

Scratch my estimate. I live in the UK.

yeah, quite quite if you are having something quite standard - about a week extra if you are not

I think it can vary - Standard single coils seem to be very quick - I recently ordered a neck Piledriver for my Tele on a Tuesday then found I needed to use it on the Sunday and phoned to get an estimate of the likely delivery date. Tim phoned me back on the Thursday and it arrived the next day :ctf: (i.e. 3 day delivery!!!!).

Humbuckers I've ordered in the past usually seem to take around a week.

I ordered a set of Apaches yesterday. I was wondering if they will be in stock ready to be shipped out today and i'll get them tomorrow. I'm really hoping to get them tomorrow otherwise i'll have to wait over the weekend without them! Can't wait to get them!

Tim was telling me that there seems to be a delay on shipping to the US. I used to get things in a week, but the last shipment he sent around the end of February still hasn't arrived!

i bought stuff from tim 4 times
usually he takes 1-2 week to ship it and it took exactly 1 week to be delivered here (and that's very quick, cause when buy stuff from USA, things always take 3-4 weeks after shipped)
but it takes a lot longer if the damn customs get their dirty hands on our precious pickups

my friend had to pay about US$120 of import tax over his painkiller

That Ibanez of yours is an awesome looking guitar. Should sound pretty awesome with the Nailbomb too!

Mr Eric is from Brazil and we pay much more taxes than you:
60%+18% (this second is a statual tax, don't know how much is in his) over the product and the shipping, when it's the "air express" kind of...
I paid doubled for a Warmoth body, believe me...

Just an update, mine arrived yesterday - they were sent later than I thought and ended up taking just over a week to get here.
