Im dealing with this for the fdny model, they charge my card usually the 27th of the month and then it takes WEEKS before i get email saying it was shipped.
i get charged for pack 9 in a week and a half and i havent even got pack 8 yet (im in the usa)
they used to be quick (around a week after card was charged), now its whenever. I dont blame the shipping from the ports either (that was put of agoras control 🙂
