All understandable and perfectly reasonable explinations. However, expecting product within a week is reasonable to me. And IF that is not possible a nice order confimation email with an estimated time of completion is not to much to ask. I and most people kinda begin to wonder when orders are placed and money leaves your account and you hear nothing for weeks. Ive seen Brood gear in action and have had the chance to try a motor of thier's recently. That expeirence brought me to Brood. No Ill opinions here...just alittle notice would have been nice.
Asfar as the sponsorship thing goes...lol those people are nuts! Sponsorship should be earned without asking..MUCH LESS threatening. Shame on those people.
