...and I'm glad that I decided to sign up for some other GBs, also, knowing that they would likely have some of the same problems. Our lengthy wait is [eventually] rewarded by some awesome keycaps. 
Think about the keycaps, not about the possible issues and these GBs will tend to be the most successful, IMHO.
I signed up for other GBs too, and here's the "issues" I would expect:
1) Announced Delays in manufacturing
2) Announced Delays in receiving
3) Announced Delays in shipping.
4) Increased Shipping prices gone up since order placed
Issues one
should not expect to occur
1) Leader committing to a ship date and not telling you why it was missed
2) Leader not communicating at all once he has your money
3) Leader breaking simple etiquette of GBs by shipping leftovers before GB sets.
If Every GB had all of these issues, nobody, and I mean
nobody would ever participate in them. But many GBs have one or more of the former category, and that's fine. In fact, it's to be expected. But if you notice, half of those problems aren't even on the Leader's side. It's an issue with the manufacturer. The second category rests solely on the GB leader. The reality is, some people can run a GB, and can do it well, while others cannot. The takeaway I believe from this and the KMAC 1 GB is that Sherry is not amongst the former. People should not condone bad behavior because 'eventually' they got the goods they paid for.
I said it before, GBs are about trust. If you can trust that Sherry can do the job effectively, than that's on you. But the empirical evidence we have suggests otherwise. I have no problem waiting for the goods. I have no problem with the goods taking longer to get to my doorstep than initially planned, as long as I have been informed that there was a problem, and that it's at least being looked at. What I have an issue with is when an event one should not expect to crop up, does. That should offend you as a participant in a GB.
I encourage everyone to vote with their wallets, and do what you have to do. You'll see me in other GBs. You likely won't see me participating in any GB henceforth run by Sherry; at least not until this mess has been cleaned up and the wounds healed.
Cheers,
