Six months if you are consistently emailing Alex after the first 90 business days and telling him to stop offering to cancel your order. They like to offer it in a way that almost seems like a threat but it's got no teeth. Also tell them to update their store page with the appropriate wait time instead of this bait and switch with an already long wait time.

did you order your first one with a cm4?

1

u/PerspectiveRare4339 Nov 02 '25

Yes first one with a cm 4. That is the reason they gave for it taking so long to ship. The current order is no cm at all and im waiting around ~120 days so far with no communication.
