As advice to any teams looking to save money by purchasing round belting from Grainger right now: avoid it. 228 purchased 100 feet of 3/16" orange round belting from them almost a week ago, and despite being listed as "in stock" on their website we just received an email that it won't be shipped out until the first week of February.

Since this will be too late to really help us (except for replacement/stockpile parts), last night we ordered another 150 feet of it from McMaster and it'll probably be in sometime today or tomorrow.
