Ok.. Hobby electronics cost more than a self addressed stamped envelope. I don't think it's excessive or even out of the question to expect AT THE LEAST some communication after payment has been made. For me, it's been a week and a half since I handed over my cash. Others above seem to have waited longer with nothing. Can you honestly say with a straight face that if you handed someone $100+ for a product and didn't hear a word from them for a week and a half you wouldn't be concerned? C'mon.. i'd guess that even Freakydude would feel the same way if he were purchasing something from a stranger on the internet.

I realize that this is a side thing, family comes first, etc. and personally speaking, I feel if i'm given a reasonable explanation as to what takes so long, then I don't mind the wait, but without any contact whatsoever i'm just left to guess what's going on.

All most of us seem to be asking for is some communication so we can make our hobby plans. Is he sick again? Need a little more time because of work? Have to order the parts? Problems with shipping? Ok.. just let me know and i'll work on a different project while I wait.

Communication is a huge part of successful business...just sayin'..
