This situation is exactly what bothers me with other dealers (many have been documented on this forum) who run businesses, market and sell off of pinside, and then delay/fail to send parts whether they be machines, pfs, etc. We all know who they are.
Bottom line - we're in the era of Amazon. When you receive $, you ship that shit out. No excuses, no house burning down, etc. Once you receive the $, you are in debt.
They used to put people in jail for this shit.
