Monoprice warns me on the item page that shipping is delayed.

I'm pretty sure Lowes waited until I had paid to tell me that "Store
Pickup: Our stores are currently experiencing higher than normal volume.
Please wait to receive confirmation that your order is ready to be
picked up before heading to the store."

Their webpage was slow as a slow dog, too.

I forgot to say that maybe, even though they say delayed, it will be
ontime.

But 9 minutes after I got the confirmation email, I got two emails
saying it was indeed delayed. 8 DAYS.

One item was that roll of co-ax. The webpage said it had 1.

The other was someething they should have loads of.

HD had a delay on the first one too, but I feel like going back there.


Lowes is the last place I'd think of for coax, price/quality wise.

But then, I get mine at the local metal recycling place priced by the
pound. (RG59 quad shield) Got a couple hundred compression fittings
there too. Picked up ~500 foot roll of waterproof CAT6 there too for a
few bucks. Of course, I have to shop ahead for those prices. I'm set for
a long time.

I've been watching my mail orders recently and have seen much longer
times sitting in PO centers than I used to see.

I'm not in the mood to shop. I want to order online, park the car outf
front and have someone bring it out to me.
