I think we need to all chill out. it's one of the reasons that greg in particular is becoming more and more fed up with folks and considering getting out of lasers completely. You have to imagine what it's like to want to do something for folks. Give them access to cheap laser diodes so EVERYONE can participate in this hobby we all love so much. Then, have to deal with complaining folks askin him every few days if thier shipment has been sent, if it's on time, when they can get it, especially when it's clear that the normal shipping method takes a bit of time and there is a UPGRADE you can choose to go with to get it faster. Greg is just one man, he does the best he can considering all the things he's got on his plate. He sends out diodes pretty quickly and once they are out they are out of his control. PLease be patient, take the upgrade if you can't be patient and please for god sake stop buggin greg! He's one of the best things that has happened to this hobby in a cheap source for laser diodes. You have no clue the amount of MONTHS unstopped he has spent looking for cheap resources for us. search, contact, dead end, search, contact, dead end, search, contact, possibility, dead end. it's frustrating. then dealing with stupid folks ruins it! (not calling anyone in specific stupid!)
