I guess the only good thing is that of the half dozen ILFers I've been in touch with, everyone gets their shit eventually, it's just like pulling teeth to even get a fucking response. So note that I'm not calling this dude a scam artist or ripoff, just stating he is not being transparent. And in the end who gives a shit, they're just pedals, right?

I don't know Nic personally, maybe he's a great guy in real life. But I think it's pretty disrespectful to take money from people then just leave them hanging, make excuses when called out, and offer them hollow gestures like a discount instead of just owning up to being overwhelmed with orders or whatever the case, while listing new pedals and promising a delivery time of two weeks when others have been waiting four months.

Maybe this is bad form and I am usually pretty drama-averse, but deleting posts of dissatisfied buyers is pretty weak.

Damn, I just went and saw my posts got deleted (except for the one where I talked about how good the pedal sounded). I mean shit, I wasn't even being mean in that thread, just said there was confusion / excuses with the shipping, and it took about 4 months to get my Holy Mountain. For shame. There's nothing wrong with telling people they'll probably have to wait 4 - 5 months when you're one guy with a lot of orders for pedals, but fer chrissakes, tell them.
