Perhaps so, when seen from your point of view, Vic. But other people may have very valid reasons for wanting accurate shipping information not promises that aren't kept. They may, for example, want to know if they will even be in the country and able to take delivery when their order is ready to be shipped. (This reflector has heard from a couple of people who were going on DXpeditions, others may simply be off to a place in the sun for the winter.) Others (again we have heard from at least one) have sold their only radio to put down a deposit for the K3, not realising it would mean they would be off the air for so long. It may not matter if you have a shack full of other radios, are not planning on going anywhere and are in good health and not significantly past retirement age. But that still leaves a lot of others, I'll bet, who need at best a promise, but if not that an *accurate* prediction of when their order will be met. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
