I'm in northern IL and it usually take 3-5 days for me to get my KP orders. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a week. :D

They are based in Wa. and I ordered my options kit on 12/1/06 and received my pkg on 12/06/06! I live in Va. Hope this helps you. Can't promise, but for me, they were very fast!

Some of my fav Bible verses: Proverbs 30:7-9 "Two things have I required of thee: deny me them not before I die: Remove me far from vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convienent for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."


A favorite little verse:

"Oh Lord, I ain't what I wanna be,
I ain't what I oughta be,
I ain't what I'm gonna be,
But oh, Thank God,
I ain't what I used to be!"

i think they are actually in a few different places. I have had them take more than a week when i used their free shipping for stuff that i was in a hurry for. when i have had stuff i was in no hurry for it came quick as a wink. if i have reached the free shipping level i usually just pay the extra $7, or so, for 3 day select so i know when it is going to arrive. I think we have all had mixed results with the free shipping so it is very hard to say.

I'm in Texas and it takes about 2 weeks. Lucky that you are closer and will probably get your order sooner. The last time I ordered, I tracked the package and it sat for 3 days up North somewhere and 3 days in Dallas or here in Austin.

My last KP order came the next day. It helps that i placed my order early in the morning (about 7:30am), and it helps that i live 20 minutes away from their distribution plant.

My husband ordered the Options for me nearly two weeks ago and I'm still waiting. Tracking says they're supposed to be here tomorrow, so we'll see. It took less than 24 hours to go from Ohio to Orlando, FL, but it's taken 4 days to get from Orlando to down here (we're only about 3-4 hours from Orlando) .
