The logistic problems and customer care issues are now hopefully solved.
For the 9.0, there was a problem of switching to a new production
supplier which ended in extra delays, for 9.1 it was a new logistic
supplier which didn't provided the requested service. Regarding the
customer care, it is normally fine as well now as we learned from errors
from the past.

We can only take his word for what it is but I learned that they really
did some house cleaning and their homework.

Nothing else to say, the approach "They did a bad job last time, I never
try them again!" may be reasonable for some people but I'll give them
MandrakeStore a chance.

I didn't have problems with them when I ordered a book from the store.
It arrived within 3 days after ordering. Well, I live in Europe, can't
tell about overseas.
