It's funny...I ordered some Vittoria Open Corsas from them, and it took about two weeks. I ordered a full Dura Ace kit, and it took less than a week.

1) The first sentence has nothing to do with my question and why does it bother you that I didn't use the search? What is the big f'ing deal? Did it really BOTHER you??
2) THANKS for answering the question....there was no space on the website.

Without looking, I'm not sure if this forum has a faq to this effect, but many do.
Myself, I probably would have answered your question in this particular case because I just started buying from PBK, but I'm just trying to explain where the guy was coming from.

I got some tires in 5 days, which was a new record for them.

The usual order for me takes about 5-7 days. The first order I made was for an Ultegra groupset with R700 crankset. When it arrived 7 days later, they had shipped the standard double crankset by mistake. It took another three weeks before I had the correct crankset in hand. Communication with their tech support folks was dodgey at best which contributed to the turnaround delay.

Including receiving and exchanging damaged or wrong items several times, took about 2 months for my Ultegra SL brifters.

Usually takes 5 sometimes 7 days to get to Australia but last time my order took about a fortnight but that is because customs intercepted the parcel and thought there was something suspicious in there and opened it up (spare tubes, tyres, chain and a couple of baselayer shirts!).

ordered groupset and set of wheels...5 business days later I found myself standing tall in front of my suga-mama explaining the strange boxes at the front door. 
I better intercept the next set which are due to arrive any day now...

Duty fee is a % of the total price of all the items, not including S&H.

The best for me was 3 days. Ordered Saturday. The Ultegra groupset shows up on Monday in Bay Area, California. The downside, I ordered SL. Everything came in the Gray SL, except the crankset.
That is really sucks. That is the second time my order get screw-up. I wonder if PBK management knows about this type of issue.
