Let me throw in a hearty defense of PropStore here, only because I have extreme personal experience with similar matters.
In the past few months I have been telling buyers after our auctions we need a total of 3 weeks to pack everything, so 4 to 6 weeks does not seem the slightest excessive to me, because the same people who pack posters likely also have to pack props, which can be super time-consuming. And wouldn't everyone rather wait longer but get a superbly packed package, ESPECIALLY considering the man (and woman) handling so many packages and tubes have been receiving at the hands of the delivery services (the damage numbers are ten or twenty times what they used to be for us, indicating to me a total breakdown in their systems). One thing I added was a $15 Rush Fee that solely moves your order to the top of the stack (behind already entered Rush Orders). This has soothed those who DO have an extreme urgency to get their order. Maybe PropStore might consider adding this (maybe at a higher fee), or maybe it just isn't feasible there. I know everyone wants their items tomorrow (thanks to Amazon causing everyone to expect that) but that just isn't possible with expensive one of a kind collectibles of every kind/ So maybe cut PropStore a break!
