I fully expect they will still be making excuses in December for why they haven't shipped everything and why ever more orders won't be filled until Q1.
My latest fear is that they oversold the shipment like Air Canada does with airfare seats. No, I have no info to back that up, just a gut feel based on performance to date (or lack thereof).
Whether on purpose or not, that is exactly what happened with the mags.
Dragging out shipping in the hopes of lessening the time between when they fess up to that and when the next shipment leaves China so they can try to talk their way out of things...
"Why are you complaining? More stock arriving in Q1...."
Imagine if a first month folding stock pre-order is thusly bumped? Fair? And how many shills would rush to defend that?
I'm think some would, especially the Johnny come lately types that got their whole order shipped in the first week.
