Pat,
Over the last month or so I've had to order stuff twice from VB for my TR3.
Both times they said the line about 7-10 business days - but the only reason
I was calling them was everyplace else didn't have the item, so I figured
what the heck. In both cases I was shocked to find the package at my
doorstep in 3 days. And that's to Los Angeles. I was quite pleased!!!
Maybe you'll get lucky :)
