I am a big online shopping fan. I haven't shopped for Christmas gifts at my local large mall (Woodfield Mall) in probably 10 years.
I have found that if Amazon doesn't have it in stock then it comes directly shipped to me from the supplier. That is when the longer shipping times come into play at least in my experience.
