So how do you classify stealing by promising delivery times they knew would have not been met even in the best case scenario?
"Stealing?"
When you voluntarily give someone something in exchange for their money, it's called '
selling' not "stealing."
You made the decision to fixate on the earliest possible ship date.
You made the decision to stubbornly insist the earliest possible ship date was some kind of deadline.
You made the decision to start calling hardware not delivered on the earliest possible date 'late.'
Those are *YOUR* mistakes. Please own them, and stop whining like a little girl.
