It’s available at amazon but more expensive and shipping is free @ DDD. So does anyone know how long I’d have to wait?

Ummmmm it might help to tell people what item it is you're asking about...

snafu and the diamond Superman

Usually a month.

Hmm . . . in my experience, it has never taken more than about a week (and I've had a number of OOS purchases with them).

The easiest way to find out is to place the order. When the order appears in your status page, it will have an approximate shipping date (usually acurate to +/- a day or two). If it's too long of a wait for you, call them and cancel the order.

Pretty simple . . . and usually worth the price.

So far, any time they tell me "sold out" on a new release, they have it in stock a week later or sooner.

One of my current order is out-of-stock. The order status stated that it will be in stock on 11/8. That's about 10 days. Before when items go out-of-stock and they list an estimated restock date, they usually don't ship the item on the restock date. I usually have to send them another email asking about the passing of the estimated shipping time before they will ship the item. Has anyone else notice this behavior from DDD?
