it's looking like that's what's about to have to happen. *sigh*Yeah. I can't eat Principles, but I understand your feelings.
I do like to check Ebay (USA-only) first, and a few stores I have dealt with before, but I usually suffer the FT slowboat. A couple times was Gearbest, but they are slower.. 3fVape was a test for me: under $20, arrived in 2 weeks. So, I'm trying them again.
Issues are almost always handled far more easily with FT.. I don't even expect US stores to do better, but I also detest FT's "certificates" and "points" shit that appear to decay & die.
They should have contacted you immediately and replied ASAP as well - I'd just go the PayPal cvlaim route and be damned to them, man ;-)
