Wolverine has always been top notch. Little slow in the shipping but they are super busy.one of the few site sponsors I don't mind dealing with.
I would much rather prefer paying for a pre order up front anyways. At least then you have something to hold the dealer to rather ten the never never program. I personally always find it weird when a dealer doesn't take payment on a preorder and I personally never expect to receive it unless I put ash down.
