Thanks! I'm relatively new to this community, and it seems that my business experience is somewhat of a liability now that I'm involved with a niche market. It's outside of my experience, and it surprises and agitates me, definitely more than it should. It's nice to know that at least someone else dealing with WHAT I PERCEIVE as being my experience would also find it to be less than optimal.

I'll try to wait a couple more weeks to see if I get some word (maybe even two words!).

Repeated inquiries as to status are simply ignored. The only response I've received in the last two weeks has been a terse refusal to grant a discount that was being offered after my order, despite its pending status. Now I notice that the website says that there are "3 in stock" of the product I've ordered, yet still no action whatsoever, and a thundering silence meets every email. I'm trying to deal with this as a business transaction, but it is obviously not being handled in a businesslike manner. Isn't it a "business" when you offer a product for money? Shouldn't I at the very least be given a revised timetable for delivery?
