I waited 6 weeks for my body lift, not sure if the slow down was from Calmini (as the store I ordered it from said) or from the store itself.  But no matter, it was worth the wait.

I ordered mine direct from Calmini on a Wednesday, and it showed up the following Wednesday. Had them ship it UPS direct to my work. Total 3" kit with the steering stabilizer, shipping, and brokerage fees plus taxes totaled $1725.50 The kit alone from a supplier here was $2200 without taxes, I saved a bundle. The shops also wanted $500 to install the kit, so I did it myself. All the shops here slam the calmini kit, they want me to spend three or four grand to install a solid axle instead. So why give them the profits of selling me the kit. Do it yourself it's cheaper, and more rewarding.

 mine was only 1 week as well, to Vancouver Island. I agree with agent orange, there is a shop on the mainland that has my friends son convinced to drop a ton of cash to do a SAS with a Samurai housing, and there solution to the width is to run spacers, and he also has to find the sami front end. Complete rip off, and a waste off money IMHO.

WELL  UNFORTUNATELY  CALMINI IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK OF THE 3" LIFT KIT :( .....I SAW THE FAX MYSELF  :o ...WE ARE WAITING ON THE KIT :'( , NOT GOING ANYOTHER ROUTE.... GONNA HURRY UP & WAIT... THIS GUY IS FAIR AND HONEST TO DEAL WITH.. HE SAID I COULD ORDER MYSELF OR HE COULD PROBABLY OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM & GET IT.... BUT EITHER WAY HE WOULD HELP ME GET IT INSTALLED ..HE'S NOT ONE OF THESE MAIN STREET SHOPS THAT ARE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY........WORKS FROM THE SHOP & GARAGE RIGHT AT HIS HOUSE......AND WITH MY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF MECHANICS I FIGURE IT WOULD BE SMART TO GET HELP FROM SOME ONE ON MY FIRST PROJECT ......SO I CAN PUT IN LIFT BUT HAVE HIS HELP AT A VERY LOW COST......I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ..HAPPY ZUKING! MATTY D.  ;D

Sounds like a good idea, hey backorders happen I am a manager for a manufacturing company, and backorders are part of life, customer demand is higher than product QTY.
Remember Calmini builds all there stuff, and with a very soft US economy, I too would not want to have a huge over stock of these items, and the demand for these kits is High, if I am right I think there are 4 or 5 of us on this list alone in the last month or so who have purchased this lift. Don't go sour on Calmini they are a great company to deal with.

Keep your fingers crossed it might just show up by Friday. I had Calmini e-mail me the ups tracking number to track my shippment online, it was fun to see it make all those stops before showing up at the receiving dept. at work.

Good luck.
