I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I suspect those tires were not actually 25 miles away. More and more vendors these days are drop shipping from the manufacturer or other companies' warehouses (even if they show them "in stock"). If I recall correctly the last time I ordered tires for my F6b, the best deal I found was with denniskirk.com, and they showed up with the Drag Specialties sticker still on them.
My shipping experiences are as follows...Wingstuff, flat rate, never expected super fast shipping. They’ve been ok, considering that. I have waited 7 days and once even longer when I ordered balance beads. They were a back ordered item though. Rocky Mtn ATV, great deals and very good shipping. I ordered my last set of tires there and they came the day before they were due. Revzilla...the best so far. I ordered a Klim jacket that I ordered on a Thursday and got it Saturday. Also, a pair of Klim gloves that came ahead of the date scheduled. All in all, no major complaints anywhere. Luckily, I’ve never been in a major hurry for anything.
“Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.
As a follow up, the 2 tires I ordered from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC on Thursday arrived 2 days later on Saturday. Their warehouse is about 600 miles from here. Apparently Saturday and Sunday deliveries are now common with FedEx ground. Not long ago neither FedEx or UPS delivered on weekends unless you payed a huge surcharge.
I have had the same successful experiences with Rocky Mtn which is why they are always my first choice. I’ve tried to buy local to support the shops but everyone was $100 higher for the set. I ordered replacement stones today and the eta is Thursday.
