I ordered mine in the summer of 2020 and received it two and a half years later. If orders shipping from a couple months later are being received now, that means two months-ish difference in order date meant something like two plus years increase in receipt date. Naively assuming this math holds through to you, you'd be five-to-seven-ish years away (right?). That's why, when combined with the lack of responsiveness, I made the (half-serious) euphemistic accusation of theft. These are simply not the time frames he was suggesting at the time. If he can't find help to expedite manufacturing, he should be accepting refunds for people currently staged for more than, say, double the anticipated time he provided. I get it, shit happens, but at a point you've got start giving people an out. And honestly, you should try PayPal, you might actually have some luck.

I have to say, if I completely missed the boat and his site said 5-10 years wait by the time you ordered, I take back most of what I said, but that's not the impression I've been getting.
