  How long does Hock Shop orders usually take to arrive? A couple days? A week? I was just wondering.  I placed a order last week and I am waiting for it to arrive.  ???                     -Thanks-

Call tom...

It varies, he may not have shipped it because something is backordered and he's getting it soon

OR some other circumstance

  If it does have to be backordered, how long does that usually take??

It really does depend.

Most of my experiences with The Hock backordered items, however, has not been great.  I had a Yeager mini-medal on backorder for almost a year.  Back in May (over 3 months ago now), I ordered a neck tie which is still on backorder and last week Tom indicated in a reply email to me that there's no supply in sight from "anybody" so my backorder will continue.  I ordered one from AAFES and it shipped two days later.

If you do get an item backordered from The Hock, don't expect it to just ship automatically.  You'll have to send reminder emails from time to time to check on its status and remind them, otherwise I've found that your items just never come.

Good luck.

I've gotten some items in under three days.

It just depends.

For me it's fairly quick because I live close to him.  Makes it nice and easy for me.

It's gonna vary... small stuff like insignia or patches he'll ship first class mail and it arrives pretty quickly; some larger stuff may take a week to ten days.

If worse comes to worse and you need insignia right away, chances are the Addison squadron supply room might have it. No guarantees - we ain't Vanguard. Only thing is you'll hafta come on a Tuesday night.
