How long does Overstock's shipping take?

I ordered the Honeymooners DVD set from Overstock two weeks ago and still hasn't arrived. I have received a shipping confirmation and my CC has been billed. I know they ship USPS media mail, but why so long? Plus, they dont have a tracking number for my order.

This is my first order with overstock, but is this normal?

I placed an order about a week and a half ago and received it on Fri. So 5-7 working days or so, which is on par with previous orders.

Overstock is weird. They use media mail, but I've ordered pillows one day and it took maybe 2 days to get them.

That's probably because one cannot send pillows via Media Mail, so they sent them Priority or Parcel Post.

Overstock is completely screwy. I ordered a book on the 27th of September, and I think i got it the 8th of October. That's not so bad, but what was weird is that it still didn't say it had shipped by the 6th. So I call them and they say it's just getting into the warehouse, and two days later I have it. I don't know what they use for shipping, and I don't think that guy was telling the truth when he said it was just getting into the warehouse.
