I've dealt with Bay Area Rocketry as an onsite vendor, so I can't say how fast they ship. I like Mike al lot, and he has been a good onsite vendor. I think you probably do best by calling directly and talking to him in person. If you do call, you might want to have an excuse ready to get off the phone --- conversation can side-track into off-topic chit-chat that can go on for hours (or maybe I'm the one who does that, and Mike is the one having trouble getting off the phone). My experiences with Mike have always been good.
