All of the above! And a few other slow-ass factors, which I just posted
about for all concerned to read. The straggling was quite pronounced,
those with the biggest orders mostly paid last. There was some check
clearing, huge PayPal delays. But the weirdest factor had been hounding
them at KRL to "take this @#$%^@ money, I am trying to pay you people!"

This isn't how they are used to doing business, I suppose. If it helps,
just consider that I don't want to wait for tempcos any longer than you
do. All in all, slow going. I need to get a "real job" so I can get
quantity breaks without it being a fiasco like this.

Same here! The blow-up of the buy (about 15x) increased the number of
factors outside of my control drastically. Payments from more than 50
people on 5 continents. Bank coordination. PayPal weirdness.
Salesperson initiative. Production time. If I had all of the money
myself to cover things from the beginning the logistical convolutions
would have been about 90% less. Still, I have never coordinated a group
purchase prior to this, so it is a learning experience for me. All I
can do for now is offer my assurance that I am not wasting time, not
sitting on everybodys money nor tempcos. ASAP!
