That keeps my reputation intact.

Very good point! The importer could be in the same boat as the OP right now, stuck waiting on someone else they have no control over to fulfill commitments to their customers. The OP at least had the benefit of knowing it was an import order so delays could be expected, I hope his customers had the same benefit. (No dig on the OP either, having your funds tied up and being excited about an order is frustrating. I just don't know that it requires a bad guy tag)
