Yes, similar issue. Our sales guy was on vacation when we put the order in, so it took about a week and a half to respond, another week to clear up our DBA name being different from our sales order name with them (showed them our ARIN internal documentation), and another 4 weeks to get a hard date on when it was to be completed.
We've also just started buying /20's at this point at auction. It's not cheap, but it's effective.
