They have responded. I actually started a very similiar thread a day or 2 earlier than this one and almost under the same situation. I paid for mine on the web site though
Frustration did set in even though I had read every post and even contemplated cancelling the order and mentioned that in an email. That's when Chuck Weber got involved and it's here now.
I feel really bad for getting slightly upset with them as I see what they are trying to do, but I do agree on the cutoff order date.
So if anyone from Vector Flight reads this, I would like to publicly apologize [

] for venting my frustration both to the customer service people at VectorFlight and publicly here on RCU. I wish them a very Merry Christams.
