Hmm, two days for digikey actually suprises me. Here in Canada if you
order from digikey before around 3pm you will (assuming they have stock)
receive your order the next morning, less then 24 hours. If you order
after 3pm things aren't as certain, but even orders at 5pm sometimes
arrive the next morning.
