I understand the displeasure because of the shipping issue. Not so sure that it is PBK's fault. I order things from PBK, CRC and sometimes from China or Taiwan, but not things I am going to need relatively soon. If that is the case, I get the items from a supplier located in the USA. However, I have had delays from USA suppliers not related to not being in stock. They have been sitting in a warehouse somewhere, be that UPS, Fedex, USPS, etc. Some items are just ridiculously less expensive getting them from a supplier located in a foreign country. That includes things I would not have purchased at the price if I had to order them from a domestic source, but, to me, they were worth the lower price ordering them from elsewhere.
