I would guess that ClassicSelect has seen a bump in its business traffic since the Szell box fun. I go back and forth thinking Greg is just swamped to having less generous thoughts.
Are other people are actually receiving orders? I got an email letting me know that an order from mid-October was fulfilled. But that really only meant that a shipping label had been printed. Eight days later the post office still hasn't received anything to ship.
So "fulfillment" doesn't mean "shipped" in the same way that "paying" doesn't mean "buying", because you pay up front for items which may or may not be in stock when it comes time to shipping at some point in the fairly distant future. [And if you take payment up front and hold that cash for more than a month- or seven weeks in the case of another one of my orders- before actually shipping out anything, how much money is in your holding account, and what is your accounting method for that tax-wise? Business 101 would suggest this is a really bad idea.]
I want to believe, but I've got a few alarm bells that are currently ringing.
