you could be right...but bottom line he could send out an email saying "due to bad weather all orders might be delayed a bit" or something like that....He's been able to get online to list new ads on ebay(I checked), so he has the ability to answer a dam email...Another problem I have, is thatif he is going to sell stuff he doesn't have in stock, then he needsto make that perfectly clear on the website(perhaps a "stock status" next to item).I wouldn't have ordered itand would have gone elsewhere if I knew there would be a long wait for the item.......Thestupid thing about all this, is that I had been warned aboutTank Zonefrom some fellow tankers(and they live in the UK! so if hes slow with them then my poor butt in the USA is doomed), but I"assumed" that they might have just been unlucky and most of his customers were fine...but you know what happenswhen you "assume" lol....
