ah those were the days...send off a check, wait 6 or 7 days for the check to get there and another 7 days for the check to clear and in 6 or 7 more days you would have a new whale oil lamp...and we never complained if it was 30 days and no way to track it either just eagerly wait for the package to arrive...
