hi sounds like they drop ship from different companies or wait to get all items at once then ship out to the clients. Thats too bad. I think things like that happen when Web co's get big too fast. I'm lucky, I still make all the jewelry on my site-the buck stops here. visit my site the next time you are looking for pet items
