My reel, backing and line were spooled as I requested and seemed to be ready to ship within 2 days (shipping label printed). I did have to remove the line and backing to clean up a sloppy knot with the backing tag end hanging out of the spool. The fly line did not have a welded loop at either end and I clipped off the butt section loop they tied on and tied on a new one as the knots were not as clean and smooth as I like. USPS delivered to me in Montana 10 days after label was printed.
