Anyone recently ordered something from Lionel parts? I put in an order about two weeks ago and it still lists my order as "pending fulfillment" (the parts showed in stock, BTW, there was no back-order or anything). Just curious if anyone had a recent experience and what the current wait is. Thanks!

Yes, been talking about this for a while now. At easily seeing 2-3 weeks and longer before they ship. This has been the experience for the last 2 months maybe longer. Just received an order today that was ordered April 5th.
I just got an order today that was entered on April 3rd.
From this end a solid 3 weeks also, my order from 3/28 arrived yesterday 4/19
Wow!! Yeah I've been waiting since the 15th for some parts I ordered. It's interesting I'm not the only one thinking this!
Maybe it's all the RA's from the most recent products from coming in, not sure just a thought.
8 days and counting, seems I may have a few more weeks. The items I ordered show as in stock but I have heard that some companies add items to the available inventory as soon as the ship with the part leaves the foreign port for the US.

Lionel parts come from whole locomotives that are extra ordered to be parted out. So the parts should be in stock if they have them.
New releases may not have parts right away, but typically the parts are not listed to order anyway until Lionel disassembles the "parts locos".
Lionel response and delivery time seem to fluctuate from month to month.
A recent Lionel order was about 10 days from placing the order to shipping notification.
A MTH parts order placed the same day shipped immediately.
