Do you want to wait 160 days? How about 2-3 weeks? Sound better?

I think so...  Read below for more on why you SHOULD ALWAYS purchase from Shelf Reliance:

This was on one of Mountain House's Retailer sites---

PLEASE NOTE Order Processing time: All non-food orders ship: about 5-15 Days. All Mountain House® #10 can foods and units may take up to 160 business days to ship. Click - Why the long processing time?

***CURRENT INVENTORY UPDATE AS OF 03/24/11*** All Mountain House & Nitro-Pak food storage #10 cans are in EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND due to national & world current economic uncertainty and inflation fears. With this increase in demand, our food order processing times have greatly increased also. As Mountain House’s leading distributor, we are receiving HUGE shipments WEEKLY to fill our customer orders, but demand exceeds the available supply. Most Mountain House dealers have been been cut off & receive no food, period. Supplies are VERY SCARCE. Like Disneyland, the line is long but still slowly moving. Please be patient. This is a line you do not want to get out of! Food prices are on the rise. Place your order and LOCK-IN today's low prices NOW! All canned food orders and units may take up to 160 days to ship. Thank you for your business!

Remember- at Shelf Reliance we process and stock all of our own food... we are working fast and filling orders within 2 weeks which is not the norm, but still great!  We have 2 items backordered right now out of hundreds-- not too shabby!!!
