Last time I ordered from them a few months ago it took 5 weeks. I've been using BAM marine, usually takes 2 days.

You may want to do a Google search on them, it appears that there may be other complaints. From what I see it appears that they are no longer in business?

Here's their web info that's registered at their site if its of any help:

I had a bad experience with Stem to Stern recently too. There is also an eBay store which I used to contact "her". They would not answer anything via the contact stuff on the Website, but did react to the eBay note . . . I'll see if I can find that.

I bought a fuel pump from them last summer, ordering from their web site.Got their auto-reponse, but nothing else. They never answered emails nor messages on their phone answering machine. However, the stuff arrived ok via UPS. I just figured that they were a bargain-seller doing ok but not much for customer relations. After hearing this, doubt if I'll order from them again.

If it was just the site that was down or a phone not working I wouldn't worry but the site is still registered, so that means it was most likely taken down. The same for the eBay store make me think that someone is intentionally trying to fall off the map completely.
The site was taken down, there are no longer any eBay sales, and you say the phone is no longer in service. Either they went out of business or someone died and all of their financial dealings were ended.
