I don't know this vendor, but if you take out holiday and weekend days, the vendor has only had 5 working days to fill your order at this point. And they might still be on vacation.

I'm not sure which calender your using, but less holidays and weekends, it's 10 working days! Also please note that I tried to call them on their toll free number and it is always busy. I also tried to call on their local number and it's disconnected. Lastly, their website is down!

Would you not consider those issues reason for concern???

Thanks for the update Johhny.

Given JF's history on the boards, I see no reason to second guess him. It's posts like this that keep brothers from getting screwed.

I'm only offering another possible explanation for the issue.

Either way I hope it works out for you.

Sorry to hear about your experience.

With their phone and website down, I'm pretty sure we won't be ordering from them anyhow. (unless they come back up).
