I think the problem is this is not an isolated incident.

I ordered twice from Mike, and it was the same song and dance. Both times it took over 2 months for me to get my orders (in stock items). Does anyone think that is reasonable?

I've recently read another thread about Mike at a different forum, where the person actually had to involve the police. Mike would not take paypal, just bank transfer or money order. After many repeated contact attempts by the buyer (after 4 months of waiting for his parts), he called the police. Once a fraud case was opened with the cops, Mike promptly shipped. I wonder why?

Personally, I will never deal with him again, and urge anyone I talk to to do the same. If you live in the USA, go for it. Live anywhere else, don't bother.

Never had an issue with any other vendor. Orders usually take anywhere from 7 to 10 days to arrive. All of them also respond to phone calls and emails. Order for each one has been shipped the next day.
