Obviously some are zippier than others, but with the slowcoaches of the AH world, it's not uncommon to have to wait a few weeks from payment before you get your stuff.

OK. When I apparently said I didn't think immediate shipping by an AH was the biggest thing since sliced bread, I guess my point of comparison was 10 days maybe 2 weeks at the outset between payment and receipt. Three weeks or more does seem a bit long to wait.
