Re: Are there any others with my same problem out there? AB

Well... so far it seems that no orders from 08 are being delivered, except the ones that pay extra. When all of us read about Steve problems, I actually sent him an e-mail saying that I would be willing to pay the $250 usd difference to support him in some way and mmm... in order to "instead of...

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one... The thing is that I hope that all of us receive their hats after 5 years of waiting. The bad news for me as well, is that I'm changing address... My primary concern is to let him know that, but can't get in touch with him. :(

Going by members who got their hats is not the best metric. Most of those orders were from non-members.
