I can't help but think that issues such as holidays, weekends, country
customs, etc. taken into account, that if they can't answer your email,
well... I wouldn't be confident they would fill the order.

For me, I'm learning about catalogs. Yes, I'm going to order anything
over the 'net, but I like having print catalogs as well. Upton and
Harney & Sons were clearly waiting for me to ask, since they already had
the label printed, etc. - I received each within 3 or 4 days! Whittard,
which I didn't realize would be coming from the UK, got here in a week.
Adagio, still waiting - it's been a month. There are others, but I
distinctly remember when I requested those 4, so know the time frame.
