Well, ended up canceling the order, since they cannot ship to me for two more days (provided they get the delivery to their shop). Ordered a pair of shoes off of RealCyclist, who will ship USPS and will have the shoes here in two days. And saved about $30 (though this is a different shoe).
I find myself being funneled to certain web vendors due to their service, just like with the choice of LBS. It is less stress to pay a bit more and know exactly what is happening (RealCyclist, Performance, REI) than simply chasing the lowest price. In the end, whether online or bricks and mortar, aren't most of us ultimately are shopping service first?
