8 days is alot longer shipping time than other items I have ordered from scuba.com. Not real pleased with the fedex/post office combination. liked it better when it just came post office all the way.
I have always been satisfied with Scuba.com service. They substituted an item that was 30+ days back ordered, but only after confirming this was acceptable.
I ordered two online orders about 15 minutes apart. I would have thought they would have been combined and shipped together. A suggestion would be to monitor orders and see if they could be combined to save money on shipping charges.
Item showed as in stock when order was placed, yet was placed on backorder the next day. Better inventory tracking synched with their website is the only suggestion I have.
