Camping World online...........Seriously?
I generally limit my CW purchases to stopping in one of their stores, while traveling. This is almost always done to replace something RV related that's broken, and needs to be replaced immediately. ...

Do you pay Prime membership to CW? so its not an apples to apples

Sorry, but a Prime membership has little to nothing to do with CW's lack of performance here. I pay for Prime, which gives me a massive video library, AND subsidized shipping, for less than my Netflix account. Prime is far from "free" or guaranteed instantaneous shipping, nor does it create a system when "non-prime" customers are treated poorly, with the shipper waiting a week or so, until they get around to throwing your order in a box. The issue here is a CW system that doesn't drop ship, has no distribution for the product I ordered that is closer than three thousand miles distant, AND apparently finds a four day lag in actually getting the product out the door to be acceptable. If you have a issue with Amazon, as another posted noted, give Walmart.com a try. They blow the doors off CW's performance in this case. Any everything, no matter how heavy and costly to ship, can be picked up at the closest store in a few days, at no additional cost.
If you really want to see mind blowing service from a smaller online provider, and the exact opposite of my CW experience, try Rockauto.com. I have placed orders with them and gotten massively heavy truck parts to my door within 24 hrs, for a fraction of what the local NAPA charges, including shipping and taxes. In ordering dozens of parts and spending thousands there, I have yet to have anything take more than four days to get to me.
Finally, the Home Depot comment is really odd. So, if CW is failing at this game, we should accept that, since HD sucks even worse?
