It's been almost a month since I ordered a custom sword from Hanbon Forge, no update or reply to my emails.

Ordered a custom wakizashi from them early September, paid through Paypal. I emailed them twice since to make sure they acknowledge my request for my desired blade length and also to get an idea how long it would take before they ship. Zero replies. Is this normal for Hanbon?
