If you're dead set on buying mining equipment that ships in a week and using your credit card, I'd recommend this company:
http://minersource.net/
Not the best prices, but should be on your doorstep in less than a week and you can use either bank wire, BTC, or credit card to pay.
Also, if you're just starting out, I'd recommend one of the smaller miners like the Rockminer R-box or Antminer S1 to see if mining is for you.

Wait, minersource.net isn't reputable? Crap... I ordered something from them a week ago (but it hasn't arrived it).
:\
You never actually researched info about the seller before ordering?
You like the risk don't you?I did research it a bit, and also saw them slathered all over this and other forums. They seemed legit.
This is the first "splurge" I've done on mining gear, and I can't afford for it to be a bust. It is supposed to arrive on Wednesday... should I inspect it and look for anything obvious, or try and outright send it back?

Rule #1: The part in bold, and anything dealing with bitcoin at present do not mix. That's what I tell anyone asking me about bitcoins. If you can only afford to lose $10, then just buy $10 worth of bitcoins
Rule #2: If you can't profit from mining without a price jump, then you should have spent the money buying bitcoins. If you can't grasp this concept fully and completely, you will fail at many things in life, not just mining.
I've seen plenty of sites that list companies as currently shipping or are otherwise reputable that just aren't. There are probably shill accounts on this forum talking up shitty products and companies. You have to do your research and maybe sort of take advice from people with good trust ratings (and research the ratings). The key is research, research, math, think, research, repeat 30 or so times. I've come to a conclusion that works for me: I have only found that Bitmaintech products work for me, and I will never spend even the lint in my pockets for a preorder again.
