1. They are ridiculously reliable. Nearly anyone will tell you that.
2. Depends on the shipping method you select when placing the order. Just like any other retailers. You go SAL it takes several weeks, you go EMS it takes a week or less.

Mandarake is imminently reliable. As for shipping, they usually ship the day after receiving payment. Sometimes it can take a day or two, but that is the exception rather than the rule. How long it takes to get to you depends on the method you chose to ship it.

Mandarake generally has a better selection than anyone else, especially for older series. The catch is you have to search in Japanese, not English.

Are you, serious? Mandarake has the widest selection of any online Japanese retailer hands down. Their site covers like 12 physical store locations throughout Japan. Just because they don't have a huge selection of items from a particular show doesn't mean anything. No retailer is going to always have those things, especially on older shows like the ones you mentioned. And searching in Japanese will get you real results so as Thessair mentioned, do that.

As Den-O pointed out, Mandarake has multiple locations, which brings up another important point. If you're placing an order that includes items from multiple stores, they will not combine them and each item will ship from whichever store it was purchased from. For example, if you buy one item from Nakano and another from Sapporo, they will ship separately, and you will be charged for shipping from each store, even though you purchased them together on the website. If you're buying multiple items at once, It's best to try to stick to one location so that you're only paying for one shipment.

Also of note is the fact that they charge a small fee ($5) is you're order is lower (before shipping) then 5,000 yen ($50).
