Hi Pete; just wanted to say that I will try to relay your message. As you know, Alembic is a small company with a small staff, but, as happens with small businesses, I will add that recent events unrelated to the business have required the attention of much of the office staff. It is my guess that this is the cause of the delay in shipping, and that once everyone can focus full time on the business, such delays will be addressed. Again, I'll try to relay your message, and hopefully the package will be shipped soon.
