I finaly decided to try out L.L Bean, since I had heard so much about it. I bought a kids first cast outfit for a friend the other day. Under the shipping details, it said that regular shipping was 4-6 days, but my friend needed it in 3 to bring on a fishing trip. It would have cost is $8 more to expediate it, which we were going to do, But before we did I called them first. The saleslady said to do the regular shipping, that it would be there quickly. So I ordered it, and it arrived in 2 1/2 days! That is the fastest shipping I have seen in a long time, and I plan to give them more of my business in the future.
