Ok, so I have a small and disappointing update.
The reason that these guys are getting out of the hobby is because of health problems that the husband is having.
I have yet to receive an email from any of them so I decided to do a little research on them, what I found is that this lack of communication is not terribly unusual for them. They seem to be slow to deliver on a lot of orders but it is due to an excessive number of Dr. appointments. It seems to be a running trend over the last year or so, but everyone does eventually seem to get what they ordered.. I have found that they will come through in the end, but that the delivery date will be difficult to determine.
I am glad that I did not take paypal from people at this point though, I wouldn't want people to get stressed and have it come down on my head..
Not too worried here because it went on the card and I can just claim the fraud protection if they dont ship.. hehe
I will post as soon as I hear something.. Sorry for the delay all..
PS. If you dont have a card that offers fraud protection, GET ONE!!
