I had similar issues ordering a Laco from them. Bog standard spec not some funky custom config, but after the order it suddenly had to go on ‘special order’ from Germany. After just over a month and regular requests for an ETA I was told the factory hadn’t got back to them. I politely asked them to forget it and return my cash. Though it took another month of weekly chasing after that before any refund was issued to my credit card. I wouldn’t buy from them again, totally different experience from dealing with, say, Berrys or Laings.
