that's how I feel. I called powerdyne and asked them What the new delay was going to set me back instead of expecting a tracking number.
Powerdyne claims to have received more orders in the past few weeks/months than ever before and somehoe they ran out of all the pieces needed to build the blowers. Instead of having someone go through and do an inventory checkto verify there were enough parts they started building head units and found they couldn't finish them without part A....so they put everything on hold and order Part A. When it shows up they start building again with Part A only to find out they are missing part B as well.....the cycle repeats. This is 3rd time they've told me they had to stop production because they ran out of parts. First cases, then cogs, then kevlar belts.
It's an on-going drama but the on the positive side Powerdyne now has to really kiss my *** to keep me as a customer so there's a possibility of lower prices or free shipping or free upgrades...... I'm trying to look towards the positive side of things.

the more pressure u put on em the more they will try to appease you. Especially since your a guy ordering 4 blowers at once.

yes and no. Putting pressure on them is good but if they dont have the parts in hand there's nothing they can do about it..... they've already ordered the parts they are lacking (I'm assuming) so they are just waiting like I/we are as well. Giving them more of a hard time doesn't do anything.
I will be VERY sure to flex a little muscle with the next few orders I place.
