I ordered a ss 26" for $203 and placed the order Mon Morning via the internet, but Mon was a holiday. It shipped out Wed, but I was concerned because the personal security zone told me it was drop shipped from the distributer and I would get ups tracking info soon. I got that Fri and what do you know - it was already in salt lake waiting to be del Monday. The only downside is that they only ship ground and UPS will not del it on Sat lol. I feel pretty happy with how fast it got to salt lake. The price was great. My only complaint was that the web site lists a number of them in stock yet the company is only a internet company and actually ships from a distributer. They do not say this on the internet as I thought in stock means they have it in stock, but it really means the distr has that many in stock. The company explained to me they get quantities updated daily and in my case, it shipped timely and turn around to door should be 7 days and would have been shorter without mon holiday ( more like 4 days from tex distr to my door). I am a usually a Cabelas die hard due to thier outstanding return policy, but they had it back ordered and listed it at $229 - NEF will take care of any probs according to thier web page as long as you have the reciept, so that should not be a problem. I hope this helps some.
