I don't want to 'dis' them unfairly, but some people have complained about long waiting times, though usually for either esoteric or high-end stuff.
Ouch..that is expensive shipping costs. I have an account, although suspended at my request, with OPT. I had a run in with OPT over them charging my credit card with a shipping charge which was considerably higher than what was quoted, all without my prior approval. They blamed an error with their auto shipping charge calculator on their website...so I have been reluctant to go back to them...but on the plus side I did have a 10% discount as a preferred customer....maybe I should drop them an e-mail.
