Oh my bad haha I meant to reply to the OP. Your response wasn’t Whiney at all.

Would you like some cheese with that whine? Just stick to purchasing on mechmarket or from larger brands like Geonworks/Owlabs etc that have their act together and don’t take 2 years to deliver a group buy. There’s way to avoid being screwed by micro brands that don’t have the know how or integrity to stick to the deadlines they set for their customers
