>>6477525I've pretty much only shopped TFS and from what I've seen, they've always been quick to ship what was in stock. The only time they aren't is because, by default, they will take your orders as they are when you place them and won't ship until all items are in stock. If something is in stock (and not from their "vintage" warehouse) and is in the same order as a preorder item, they won't ship it until the preorder item is also in stock. You can always email them later and ask them to split the order but that's how they operate.
HOWEVER, they do tend to take a bit longer to actually GET the items in stock. As an example, they were one of the last sites to get Grinder in stock after he released.
But yeah, BBTS is more notoriously slow from literally every shopping experience I've had with them. Slow to get the items and then slow to ship them. I don't get where the TFS hate meme came from though. Their customer service has always been great as well and quick to ship replacement/missing parts whenever I needed them and for free to boot. I like 'em, personally.
