I've noticed a slow down in things leaving Amazon's wearhouse too. I started ordering from Amazon a couple of months ago, I don't have Prime, so use the standard FREE shipping, and it's taken them a long time to get things out of their wearhouse this last month. It takes longer for them to ship it than it does to travel in the mail. Kind of a bummer because the first few times I ordered they had it shipped within a day or two. I guess I'm patient tho, because I know I'm getting them eventually, and I'm saving some money over buying them at Wal Mart or Target.
