In my case, order from Zenni took about a week and half. 39dollars took about the same. If you order very simple lens, I think you will get your glasses in a reasonable time. However, if you order one with special features like mirror coating, or special lens like transition, progressive, looks like it takes forever.
BTW, I had no problem in communicating with 39dollars. They rarely reply to your email but whenever I get on on-line chat with them they are always there. So I don't think 39dollars communication is that bad after all.
