Well, that I agree with. Speed would be an issue there. He may have a reason
however. Who knows? He may have been sick, there may have been an emergency,
or there may have been a problem with the mail system. Apparently, we have
been having a problem in my area at least with the mail arriving on time. It
may be worse where Chris is (about an hour away from me) or not. I don't know
what the situation is, or what the delay is. I'm just asking a chance for him
to explain the situation from his point of view. I should have been a little
more clear in my previous post. Sorry about that :(  Yes, I think that it is
only proper and fair to get items out A.S.A.P. once funds are received. I do
however understand, that some problems can come up in that time period that
would delay the shipping. Unfortunately, I know what it is like on both sides
of the fence. I work at a shipping company, and I have been a customer for
companies such as that before. I can empathize with both parties. That's why
I am just saying "Give the man a chance to say something" I think I just took
a lot more time to say that than was needed, but um. Well, there it is. :)
