Order #23087
Another international "customer" here....was told that all internationals would be out on the 16th, but as I suspected mine and many others werent any of them (I think I have heard of maybe 2 or 3 internationals getting their chips shipped while idling in the smt irc channel.
I have to agree with some of the other posters here...SMT was on break so there was a delay which is understandable...then they were backordered, which again is understandable, even with the huge delay that it was...what isnt understandable or good business in the least is when they put order back "in stock" for people to buy before they finish shipping all existing orders, including internationals....even giving them the benefit of the doubt about taking longer with customs and all, its still bad business to start selling new orders while leaving others, albeit "non-americans" in the dark about their order
I ordered with express fedex back on the 24th knowing full well my order wouldnt be looked at until the 5th...I put it on express considering a number of issues, including that I figured they would attempt to put out all express orders first (since ppl payed more for less time).
SMT had been known for being one of the better mod sellers on the net back when I was looking into ordering, there was just a chip shortage, which affected all sellers, sans those with fake X2.2s, but thats another story....now SMT seems to be heading to the bottom of the pack...well, unless your american...heh
