Subject: Reevaluating outsourcing options

Our library is reevaluating our ordering and processing procedures. We
outsource about 85% of our cataloging and processing. I am interested in
hearing from other public libraries who outsource how long it is taking to
get your books from order to shelf.
I would appreciate hearing from you about :

Average number of days/weeks it takes to get a  book from order to shelf
What book jobber you use and how satisfied you are with them
