Hello just placed an order on thursday from SWF.com really excited. I was just wondering how long it usually takes for them to receive the order and ship it.
Thanks

Hey crazy, What did you order? If you ordered Thursday I bet it will ship Monday and you'll get it Tuesday probably in the am. Make sure you are home.

there whole 2 day shipping thing isnt you order on thursday and get it 2 days later. i ordered live rock on a thursday expecting to get it saturday. didnt even ship out my order til the next wednesday, i got it friday. so a week and a day after i ordered i got mine

If you order thursday and it is two day shipping that means saturday delivery. It wont work. You have to pay extra for sat delivery just cuase the shipping place "ups,fedex,dhl" dont usually deliver on sat. If it is suppose to be deliverd on sat without the extra payment for sat delivery then it will go out on the following monday.

even if you select saturday delivery it takes them about a week to even process the order and send it out. they dont have some guy on the computer putting orders in boxes the minute they get them

that's not true. I paid for Saturday delivery, and got Saturday delivery. of course I ordered about Monday or Tuesday. That's why they have a chart that says....if you order on this day, it'll be shipped on that day. You shouldn't have ordered on Thursday and expected it on Saturday, that wouldn't give them enough time to get the order, get the stuff, pack it, and ship it.

i know how it works. i was simply telling the original poster not to expect it to ship out as soon as im sure he was expecting it.

If you order at a certain time before they ship you can order on thursday and get it saturday I think it is like 8AM. or something like that. But if you order after that than the order will be placed on friday and cannot be dilivered on sunday so they wait till the following monday to ship it. If you read the shipping you will see all of this.
