I got my supertwin in 34 hours. I still don't know how Barefaced pulled that off.

The shipping itself is quick. Usually within a day or two (USA). It's the building that takes some time.
Just wanted to add this to the conversation
i am really impressed (not surprised) how huge this sounds. Just got this amp. These Cabs are amazing!
Top is a Super Midget. You can tell by the tweeter. Guessing that's a Super Compact under it.
Nice! I'm wanting a Super Midget to mate with my Super Compact and was just curious how the various different cabs look stacked together.
If the SC and BB2 are standing upright they will be the same width as the SM on its side.

I'm curious if BF can custom make a Super Midget without a tweeter? I know I could just order a SC but I just prefer a SM form factor and size and never use a tweeter...
Shadowrider, have you ever encountered a situation when the sm and sc weren't loud enough or started to fart out? I have a sm, wondering about this stack.
Not yet, although most of the time if we're outdoors we put a little through FOH. Not too many really large venues either; mostly medium size rooms. For most of my situations it's way more than I need, and the M500 doesn't get past 9/10 o'clock.
Nice! I just love the impact of a 2x12 setup, plus I miss having a tweeter so that's why I want to add a Midget to my Super Compact.
In my experience, having owned two BB2 cabs, a Six10 and two One10 cabs, the 10s cut and sit in a band setting much better.
Well, I certainly didn't need to read that. 
I have a pair of BB2's and am extremely happy with them. I've gotten nothing but great feedback on how I've sounded live, both from the rest of the band and from people in the crowd.
I also have a One10 that I bought when I was trying to find or start an acoustic/"unplugged" style band, thinking that cabinet could be a great fit for something like that. I ended doing other things so never that "acoustic" band never happened and I've never taken the One10 out of the house. However, I really like how it sounds with all of my heads. I wouldn't say better than a BB2, but different for sure and I like it as well. That makes me sometimes wonder how a pair of Two10s might compare to my BB2s.
Like I said, I have no reason at all to consider making a change, but GAS can be a cruel master.

I could see that with straight bass > cable > amp rigs in most settings. I would agree based on my experience too.
However if you're looking to do more of a pedalboard/poweramp rig with a cab sim or similar EQ, the BB2 gives you a better starting point. Just a thought.
I also found that, for my taste. 2 one10's seem to cover what the BB2 did, but I'm thinking a third for louder events.
Totally agree with this, owning one of your BB2s and a Four 10, Two 10 and One 10. I like the BB2 but ironically find that I have eq'd it to mirror my 10s, with very little horn. Agree with monsterthompson above too that the BB2 is more flexible, it is just that the natural character of the 10 suits the sound I hear in my head and I have not found a head that does not sound good with them. Four 10 plus Aguilar 751 has amazing punch and definition, cuts through anything. I generally use the BB2 with my Mesa 800+, and I was surprised when using tubes to find I preferred my Ampeg V4b over the Orange AD200 with this cab. The BB2 is probably the most neutral cab I have ever owned.
