The longer that successful companies exist, the more distribution centers and such get set up, thus delivery speeds increase if they are in ready-stock. Internet speeds have gotten faster, their processing is probably streamlined, etc. as well. The last thing that I ordered on the Internet was from Lik-Sang and they closed due to Sony being all pissy about them selling PSPs cross-region. I prefer services like Dominos pizza though in that you can track everything through there and order online; that is epic.
