I like to think the wait and the anticipation are part of the fun, or at the very least, part of the learning process I occasionally have to go through when life reminds me to order supplies ahead of time, and not at the last minute.
Just my two pennies' worth!

I think the 21 days being quoted by Pipers includes the possible delay in
sending out the threads. Standard post in Britain, whether first or
second class, doesn't take anywhere near that long. There have been
well-publicised problems with the Royal Mail in the last year or two, but
it usually means that first class post might not get there the next day
(as it's supposed to) and second class post could take several days. (Don't get me started on things going missing completely...)
Pipers don't guarantee to send orders out immediately, though in practice I've found they usually do. I think that's why they won't commit themselves to anything faster than 21 days.
