Prints: Delivery Time and Sharpening

Even though I've been a user for several years I never tried the printing service. I finally did, as part of my online photo printing evaluation, to see if I could get better colors than the local Costco (I used to get consistent results from them but not anymore)
Question 1: for some reason the prints from Smugmug (about seventeen 4x6'') took three weeks to get delivered! :scratch By the second week I thought they were missing in action, and was going to get some support, but they finally arrived. Is this something unusual? (I live in California).
Observation: the nice thing is that the output from EzPrints is the best I've had so far (I have a profiled Eizo monitor and the colors are an excellent match to my display, and the proofing profile shows the right color shifts). Well, this was last month just before the change over to Kodak paper, so it looks like I'm going to do another test print job.
Question 2: I think my prints got automatic output sharpening! I did not apply any output sharpening to the Smugmug photos, but for the other photo sites I submitted additional versions with sharpenening (so both regular and sharpened). The ones from Smugmug match the sharpened versions. Can anybody confirm this? If so I think it is a great move, since one of the reasons I never wanted to print from Smugmug is that I did not want to have two versions of the same thing, one for web use and another one sharpened for print output.

The order number was 525013 - color was set to 'True' (so no autocolor).
Thanks for checking...
I'm sorry for the delay
