The real answer is... Too long!!! That wait is a killer, but you will be in heaven when they arrive. I ended up waiting the full 4 weeks for my M80s, but I added on to the order after week two.

I placed an order for black oak FO m80s on 10/01/08, they shipped from Buffalo (?) on 10/09/08, and are scheduled to arrive tomorrow on 10/14/08.

JH. your pics need to be hosted on photobucket, flicker or the like. Once you have them hosted you can copy the pics url into the post by using[img]url[/img] or just click the pic icon in the full reply screen and it will add the img tags for you.

I know that the wait seems far longer than it really is.

I ordered my outlet QS8's on March 5th, 2008. Axiom claimed a 3 week wait time. On March 20th, I got the email from Axiom saying that they had shipped. That's 2 weeks and 1 day. They actually shipped before that, because the Fedex tracking shows that they received the speakers from Customs late on March 19th. Which obviously means they left Axiom at least a day or two before then. The QS8's were delivered to my front door on March 22, which I thought was pretty incredible.
Axiom stuff enters the US and becomes Fedex's responsibility in Buffalo, NY. That is why Axiom's gear appears to 'ship' from Buffalo. I live in central Illinois, which is apparently close enough to Buffalo that it's effectively 2 day shipping. Living in Ohio, you're even closer.
So just as others have said, Axiom usually ships sooner than promised but don't count on it.
Something else to keep in mind is Customs, which is beyond Axiom's or FedEx's control. Since the speakers are crossing the border, they've got to go through US Customs. When I ordered my M80's a couple of years ago, DHL was handling the shipping and their tracking included Customs time. According to them, my M80's were stuck there for a couple of days. Over the years I've been here, I've read of one or two cases where speakers were held up even longer due to whatever sort of checking & inspections that Customs is doing. Extremely rare, I'd imagine, but not out of the question. And there's not much you could do about that.

Well got the email today that they shipped. YEAH!!! Anyway, I ordered them on the 7th so lets see how log it takes to get here. The email said it would take a couple day for the tracking numbers to go through so i expect it may be close to exactly 2 weeks to get here.

Excellent news jhunt17!
Do you have all your speaker cables and interconnects purchased?

Some of you asked to see pics of my theater. So here they are. Let me know if the link works. This room was built from scratch. My father and I built it. I am very happy with how it came out. http://s423.photobucket.com/albums/pp317/jhunt17/

The link is working. Isn't it cheating to have the picture of an EP80 onscreen while you clearly have M60s! Looks good! Big bright blue light!
