Yeah something needs to give. I understand wanting to give everybody a chance to order their gear, including the new guys. But I know a lot of people who have been active in this community for a long time, myself included who will choose to buy their gear elsewhere until the TA issues are resolved.
Nothing personal at all but I’m not the kind of guy who likes to wait 3 weeks for a domestic pack, coupled with the uncertainty if my pack slipped through the cracks and having to nag the source to check on the status of the package.
Stan has always treated me very well, the products speak for themselves, and I look forward to being able to bring more business this way in the future.
But I’m not gonna beat down the door and set alarms to *maybe* get my order in on time, and maybe have to wait another week, then let alone wait for the shipping time.
