Oh the irony!

Unfortunately, there are a-hole vendors that do this and for some inexplicable reason think their actions won't affect their bottom line. It's good to report those things. What's interesting is you'll find 40 other people that will chime in and say how great and cool he is at the same time, even in the face of hundreds of pieces of evidence to the contrary. Makes you wonder where these bozos get their business acumen.
Before you plunk down big $$ on ANY vendor, ask around or check any reviews. You'd do it if it were the 1970s, or 80s. I sure did. If a vendor is known for screwing people, that news gets around fast.
If he already has your money, by law, the FCC rules state that he's supposed to get the product to you in 30 days, or if not, give you options of a refund or you agree to a new ship date. "Summer" is not a date. If you don't agree to an extension, then he must refund your money. You've probably waited too long for a chargeback on the credit card. But perhaps you can ask. Vendors HATE chargebacks.
Too many people let these butt-munches off too easy. Today it's the magical words "Covid has us backed up" and then just sit there and do nothing. May be. But the FCC rule still applies. It is there to prevent vendors, or even fake vendors, from running ponzi schemes, or ripoff schemes. Decent vendors who understand this often state they don't charge your card until it ships. Which some can do to avoid having to refund backorders that have gone too long. Then they can backorder stuff indefinitely and unless YOU cancel the order, they'll charge your card when it comes in even if you forget about it.

Does this Thomas guy still own it? If so, he's a one-man show and those usually don't survive if they start to get any volume. Orders get behind and then business goes away.
First off. I know Thomas personally and I already know the issues with getting product out in a timely fashion isn't happening He is a one man operation and can't handle it all. Ok. Besides the biggest issue of that, from what I've read abd experienced from his product , it's very good for...

No real need to go on. And that was just ONE forum. As you can see, this clown has a poor, no, wait, VERY poor track record. And it's been going on for YEARS.
Good luck.
