Yeah, I can understand the OP's frustration. Some of us only do a few events a year and something like this really throws a wrench in the plans. But I personally have had good experiences. Alpha X and front brake came in within the expected delivery after the Black Friday sale (shipped within 5 days). Then bought another brake for the rear which had a wait, but they were up front with that. Always respond within a day to technical questions, etc.. A lot of times they will respond on this board.
So it's a tough spot. I see wanting something for a big event you have maybe waited a year for. But I also advise to be patient because the product is good and easy to work with.
