I basically don't order from Texsource, Ryonet, or Atlas due to the horrible shipping times.  Sometimes things show up in a day or two, sometimes a week or two.  Not worth it.

Unless it is something I can only get from one of those places, I usually order directly from the manufacturer (if possible) or hound my local guy about it (who is awesome) or I order from Ace (though their stock is limited, as all the suppliers are in one way or another).  For a lot of things I will order a sample and if I like it, I will order a ton of whatever it is so I am never rushing to get it from them.  I reorder when I am about half way through whatever I have on hand.

Ryonet did send out an email the other day confessing that they had major glitches with a new system they implemented a while back and are just now finally getting a grasp on them.  Maybe that is part of the issue you experienced. *shrug*

I do like my two "local" guys, GSG and Reece.  Deliveries twice a week and on separate days so I can get something I need "next day" as long as it's not Thursday (Friday is the one day that no one comes out this way).

Thats kinda crazy, I have never had a shipment issue from Atlas, and sometimes we are ordering twice times a week. I have only orderd from Ryonet maybe once ever, they are just too far away for shipping(4 days).

Hopefully I'll never have to grow up and get a real job...
