Default ECS has shipped the orders after questions. ship times indicative of something?

I've got a couple orders pending from ECStuning and BOTH have been given shipping time delays.

It's a good thing the orders are on credit card because before 30 days are up I'm cancelling the orders before they go bankrupt and I can't get my money back.

I notice they're advertising a lot on this forum, but as for customer's orders, not so much.

I ordered parts three months ago and got them in three days but I'm located about 16 miles north of them.

I forgot to mention that all postage parcel including USPS goes through Cleveland instead of the used to be Akron postal branch that is closed, stuff moves a tad slow these days unless you use FedEx or UPS and pay the premium for it.

Would be nice to get information rather than generic I dunno from sales staff.

Default Good to hear. It hasn't been my experience since 17June.

Perhaps two orders is just an aberration.

Default Issue here isn't from ECS, apparently. It's parts TO ECS.

Of course, if they can't get parts or the price from the vendor changes and ECS doesn't want to pay the increased charge or pass it on to the customer or find another vendor and make the customer wait, that's not on FEDEX, UPS, or USPS.
