I thought German efficiency was exaggerated but damn, that was impressive

Got that beat. Ordered from auto parts supplier Rockauto here in the US. Ordered part for suspension on my car and 18 MINUTES later got email that the part had shipped!

Usually you get a shipping "confirmation" once the seller has printed a shipping label. Sometimes a seller will print a packing list and shipping label within minutes after you bought it, so you get a "shipping conformation" while the product is still on the shelf and the packer hasn't even clocked in yet.
