McMaster-Carr ships very quickly, unless you happen to have a McMaster distributor in the area, in which case you can send someone to pick the items up.

AndyMark might have shipping delays due to inventory shortages (something about 1000 teams all wanting the same item at once, or something like that), but once they ship, they ship quickly.

Also note that COTS items don't count against your withholding allowance (40lb). If they arrive at your shop before you leave for competition, bring them with.
