In this instance I called on the phone and got shuffled between
800-number order takers and toll charge complaint people and they told
me my order was to be shipped "tomorrow". I have already received other
items ordered within days thereafter from other vendors. I'm sure their
items will eventually arrive but I'm at 5 weeks already and THAT is not
acceptable when they tell me they'd LIKE to ship items within 24-48
hours and some phone-droid gives me the 'tomorrow' schpiel. There's an
FAQ on their website that keeps explaining away their culpability but
the bottom line is they are a crappy outfit to deal with.

I'll always praise the good guys and that includes most internet
vendors. Ocean State Electronics and Hosfelt are the only two on my
brown list. Many people have had success with these vendors so they
must not be all bad but I'd like to make it be known that these two can
be very problematic.

I haven't dealt with OSE in over a year, and they were short on a couple of
items. No big deal, they offer alot of otherwise hard to find stuff. But
on one, the price for a lot 10 was cheaper than the price for 9, and they
sent 9. Otherwise, it came in quick enough. They've been OK for me, but
they aren't on my "A" list.
