Unless you have chosen one of Blinds Express Quick Ship products that usually ship within 2-3 days, your products with few exceptions take between 2-3 weeks from the time of ordering to delivery at your front door. Back-ordered items or discontinued products and colours will happen at times and they will make every attempt to notify their customers in a timely manner. Many manufacturers don't contact them sadly until they pull the inventory for the product and that is when they let them know that the product is out of stock. This is a very poor way of doing business, but they have no control over this practice.
