I get my Release subscription delivered about 12 days after the invoice
is printed. In the case of 2.2.5R invoice date 12/11/1997 delivery date
20/11/1997. I don't know how WC deals with subscription customers as
opposed to one-off sales, but it seems reasonably timely to me.
I've been subscribed with WC since 2.1.7.1R. They helped me out with a
subscription problem I had with an Australian reseller who regularly
screwed up my subscription - late, duplicated, never arrived - even to
the extent that when the .au distributor sent (and billed me for) two
copies of 2.1.7R, WC replaced _both_ of them with 2.1.7.1R (the security
fix).
I don't recall seeing too many companies with return and refund
policies as good as WC's.
I'm a fan of WC. 8-)

I would think it's not too easy to process all the subscription orders at
once and continue servicing other regular orders as well. There are only
so many hours in the day 8-). Two weeks doesn't seem that bad to me.
