I live in CA as well. I routinely get the PBK orders in 4-5 days.
I once placed an order with Nashbar, and then a couple of days later placed an order with PBK. The PBK order came in first - I placed the PBK order on a Thursday night, and it was on my doorstep Monday. The Nashbar order came in the following Thursday.
Plus, no shipping charge, no tax.
