I tried buying local, (Alaska), and was quoted 3-4 week out for delivery. One distributor estimated $500 dollars shipping. I'm not kidding. He thought it was "something huge coming from the 'states' ", even though I had sent him a drawing of a small bathroom describing the heat mat 34" x 54". I called NuHeat and they recommended I call WarmYourFloors. I'm glad I did. With the drawing email, I got a quote the next morning and the thermostat was shipped the next day. The order went to the factory and I received the mat within 4-5 days, including the weekend. Wow!
