Hey, I have done small projects but this will be my first large one. It will
be about 10,000 pieces from multiple stores. Can someone tell me how long it
normally takes for all these pieces to arrive? Is it a matter of a week, a month?
I am in the USA and am ordering just from USA stores. Thank you!

It depends on the stores. The terms of the stores usually state it. For me it’s
always been within 2 weeks (including international orders.) I would recommend
also buying from Canada, as they have fairly cheap shipping at times, and some
Canadian stores can lower the price on your Bricks significantly. Another thing,
when you receive your orders, count on there being a few small missing pieces.
Everyone makes mistakes, and a few missing pieces in orders that big are bound
to happen.
Good luck! When you finish your project, post it here in the forum! I’d love
to see!

It all depends on the store, the lot size, and the variety of parts. I've
had a couple 1k+ orders, but some of the lots were 100+ of the same thing. I
would hope that it doesn't take months. I would expect a couple weeks max.

Side note, you can do "Easy Buy" from your wishlist or you can go into your wishlist,
select all the parts, and then go to buy. This sometimes gives you more control
over where the stores are located. It can make ordering large projects so much
easier.

Good Luck!
