The issue for me is that I ordered based on the stated lead time of 1-1.5 months. I was out of the country on vacation for a few months when I ordered and figured even if it takes 3-4 months that it would be no problem. But to wait a for a year is too much. If he quoted a year and I ordered knowing how long it would take then no problem.
The real question is, how difficult is it to make a swage press? I mean he comes on here and sends PM's saying he is back in the shop and getting things going. Well, making a swage press is pretty simple so if that were the case then he should be sending presses out. He origianlly told me that he does them in batches of 6 so the press that he did send out that was confirmed on this thread should have gone out with 5 other presses. Yet the other guys who I know of that have been waiting for 2 years have not seen their presses.
The other issue that has hurt Tim is that the one guy who came on here and did the most bashing in the first go around is the guy that received his press. You see how that could reinforce bad behavior? Everyone else wants their press so they figure hey since that seems to be the only way to get it done then thats what they are going to do.
As far as filing a formal complaint, I don't believe I have ever filed a formal complaint for anything in my entire life. But then again, I have never had to. That looks like it is going to change come Oct 22nd.
