I would like to state Arklan has posted updates every step of the way, and if everyone followed the thread like I had, all their answers about this "delay" in shipping would already be answered.

Are there things that could have happened better?  Yes.
Do I think I could have done a better job than Arklan? No.

I am still pleased with Arklan's performance in this group buy.  I have 100% confidence in Arklan at this point.
