There must a good reason why you ordered the frame from R&A, when you're in VA.
It must be something other than price. My LBS can do much better than R&A. Of course, it's not a cool place to shop.
I've found out the hard way, that, in the long run, the better way is to establish a good relationship with your LBS. Probably ends up being the cheaper route, as well.
Good Luck
