While we're on this subject...

I ordered a t-shirt from them about five weeks ago, and as of 7:29:01 PM CDT (-0500) last night, it is *still* "On Order From Manufacturer".

Is this a common problem? Is more than a month wait not uncommon for them?

I guess what I'm really looking for, here, is some experienced advice. Anyone else ever had this problem? Am I ever going to get my shirt? Would I be able to get it faster if I cancelled my RSI order and went looking for it somewhere else?
Confused

I ordered Slayers Next on May 31, and they just shipped it out on July 19. Almost two months!! This is the longet I have ever waited for anything. I don't know why it takes so long some times. I have talked to other people online, and they have all had problems with RightStuf taking a while with their orders. Best advice I can give you, is to only order items that are "instock and available for shipping" or are "Pre Orders". If an order is "on order from the manufacturer" when you order it, there is no telling how long it will be.

the longest I've waited from them so far is about 2 weeks for their in stock items. I haven't had a problem with backorderd items till now. MKR I was in stock when I ordered it, but over night it went to on order from manufacturer Evil or Very Mad

Ever since ADV started on cheap box sets with Blue Seed, Am I the only person feeling ripped off by these new lowering prices? I don't buy singles anymore, so when I see a inflated Box price, I feel ripped.

I can handle 120 bucks for subtitled Sailor Moon, But I cannot accept paying 80 bucks for like 10 eps of Macross, or 200 bucks for Trigun when I have half the series.
