Anyone ordered from saltwaterconnection.com?

I ordered an SWC-160 impeller and a skimmer venture due to restart and overflow issues from saltwaterconnection.com on 08/19. But after 10 days, I still see the order status showing "Processing".

I emailed them thru clicking on "Contact Us" and also direct email to sales@saltwaterconnection.com, but did not get any response. (has been 4-5 days). As they don't have any phone number shows on the website, I have no other way to communicate with them.

Just wondering if anyone ordered anything from them before and would like to share the experience ? (well, honestly I don't expect too many people ordered from them as my order number is "8", yes, single digit... :-) )

BTW, on the order confirmation email, it says:

Shipping Method Canada Post (Tracked Packet - USA, 2014-08-29)

For those who had ordered from Canadian online store, does it mean "they will ship" or "I will receive" on 2014-08-29?

As an alternative, is there any other places that I can order these SWC-160 replacement parts?

PS. I've tried to add plastic washers on the impeller shaft, but it did not work. Blow air will get it to start but I can't count on that as I just had a power outage a month ago and even worse is, it's normal operating power consumption is ~24W, but if it can not restart, it will drain 54W and heat up my tank really quickly if left unattended.

I'm curious about this as well... recently placed an order for an Askoll pump and the order status has been "Processing" for two weeks now. So I started doing some Google research to see if this company is even still up and running, came across this thread.
 
I called him but no one answered. And no, I did not receive my order. It's been several months and I don't expect any miracle to happen... Will never buy SWC again...
 
I've been waiting for an impeller for a swc160 that I ordered on Nov6......filed a grievance with paypal.....no answer yet.....the invoice was for $51.
 
I'm still looking for a pump I can use as a replacement for my swc 160. I asked Jayson for help finding something I could use in place of the pump that comes with the skimmer and he was no help. He wasn't rude but took months to respond just to say no. Even when I presented him with some options of possible replacement pumps he just said he didn't know. He was no help at all and kept me waiting forever.
 
PayPal ended the dispute in my favor today. I would recommend anyone else who is "waiting" on an SWC order to be fulfilled also files a dispute. PayPal gave him 10 days to fight my claim and he didn't respond at all.
