RE: June shipments
I had been waiting until I had a firm answer, but that has not happened yet.
I expect the shipment to leave Bangkok June 14. This is several weeks later than I had hoped, and I apologize for this. The builder ran into problems with his laser cutter and everything ran at a snail's pace for several weeks. It's still not finished, but getting very close.
This means that delivery will slip a few weeks from the "late June" forecast. It looks now like mid-July at the earliest.
Again, I'm sorry about the delay, nobody regrets it more than I.

RE: June shipments
You're right. I'm not happy. I am compulsively punctual, and it drives me nuts to miss a schedule.
I used to own a drag strip. Drag races are notorious for their lethargic pace with people standing around all day waiting on long delays.
I tried very hard to fix that, ran all my races on a tight schedule. Guess what! People complained that they didn't get their money's worth because the race was over several hours earlier than the previous guy's races.
You can't win.
I have also tried real hard to get people to trust my delivery dates and this puts a crimp in that too.
Fooey!

RE: June shipments
Tom, the most important thing is that you have always been honest with us, and we appreciate it. There is nothing better out there especially in the 28% size, so they are definitely worth the wait.
Hey, the bright side is you will probably again have all of them sold before they reach the dock!
Hang in there

Yes, we still have some of everything in this next batch. I'm getting better at predicting what will be selling and therefore what to order.
