Compared to other group buy runners he has had better than average communication. If you want an example of "non existent communication" check over on Feng's POM group buy that has been running since August 2015. I bet less than 1% of the posts are his.
If there was any perceived lack of communication or delayed shipping please at least consider Devlin totally boned this guy, HARD. If I were in his shoes I'd probably have a nervous breakdown.
Just because there are
plenty of straight up awful GB runners, doesn't make this okay.
Sure, it wasn't his fault (as far as we know, and let's leave it at that), delays are pretty much a given in this niche - but a quick update every few days or so isn't too much to ask.
It would be a whole different game if we knew each other personally and he was doing us a favor of sorts - but here's the thing:
we're not friends, and he collected our money. I consider that a business contract -
and if you're conducting business, there are some obligations to your customers.
Like regular updates, for example.
I don't want to sound rude, he's probably going through difficult times right now and I get that -
but can it be an excuse when, again, someone is doing business?
What would happen if I said
"Hey, I'm broke at the moment because personal reasons - but I'd like to order 2 sets, and I'll pay for those .. eventually. Here's my address, send them over when they're finished, and you'll hear from me .. sometime. Probably."?
It wouldn't exactly work, right?
