A perfect example of why you should check the status before purchasing!
Like Jamie said, growing pains.
But to be honest, I don't mind being a second class customer, because that means they aren't in the game to make money, but to supply our nations best. They need the Profile NVGs, Coyote Brown RAVs, and Hydration carriers, not me!
As airsofters, we must keep in mind that merely being tolerated by real-life go-faster guys is a blessing. Lets not forget our place in the grand pecking order!
That said, find a good place to buy, and keep returning. Let them know they do it right if you like the service, and let them know if you don't. LF is one-stop-shopping, but there ARE better places to buy unless you have allegiance to Brad Nelson.
