How long does it generally take to get stuff from the official Obama website store?
I ordered some bumperstickers and other things a few days ago and am wondering how long it took other people on here to get their stuff.

1. I received an email from them today about a t-shirt I ordered.
I ordered it with a donation after Joe Biden was chosen.

They were very nice and said because of the huge demand, it will be shipped around the end of the month.

I don't mind. I like the huge demand part. :-)

7. I got that e-mail too and had the same reaction
I hope they are getting more requests than they ever imagined, rather than just not having been prepared.

3. I ordered a bunch of magnetic
bumper stickers and the guy told me he would get them out to me the next day. It has been two weeks. I know another person who has been waiting weeks for yard signs. I fear they have not planned very well. We are running out of time.

9. I got my first magnet in about a week, but
I just got an e-mail saying the yard signs are delayed.

4. Mine took about 2 weeks
But I chose the cheapo shipping option. I'm in NY. We're window dressing.

5. I ordered a T-shirt, yard sign, a magnet, and several bumper stickers...
I ordered them about a week and a half ago. IIRC, I chose UPS ground because USPS wasn't available for the yard sign. They've charged my card for the full order. Yesterday, I received a Priority Mail envelope with the magnet and nothing else except a packing list with the missing items highlighted. They seem to be backordered, but they didn't indicate an estimated shipping date or anything like that.

10. I've ordered several things, they all took a long time. 2 possible explanations:
1. They have been unable to keep up with the demand because the demand is unprecedented, unexpected.

2. They are idiots.

I've been so impressed by everything else in the Obama campaign that I think the former.

My local office has stuff, I just go there to buy it.
