That kbox Mini Platinum is nice. Know you wanted the Dripboxes, but it's nice just the same.
These stores, and eBay sellers as well, have shipping software or something that enables them to generate tracking numbers before the PO has the package. I've had tracking numbers from eBay sellers for as long as a week and the PO still doesn't have the package.
What pisses me off is that I think some of these stores use these tactics to get rid of colors or styles that don't sell well, as in, they led you to believe they had white in stock, so you ordered white. They probably KNEW they didn't have white, but took your order anyway, hoping you'd agree to let them substitute red, since they have a harder time selling the red.
I have a conspiracy-theory mind, but that's happened to me enough times that it immediately makes me suspicious now. The Aspire Pegasus that I recently ordered is a good example. I ordered brushed stainless. The store came back to me and said they were out of stock on stainless, but they had brushed gunmetal, and would I allow the substitution. So that was ok, I said yes. What actually arrived was brushed BRASS. I just kept the damn thing and ordered a wrap for it. I only paid $20 for the full-size Pegasus, so it's worth far more than what I paid for it, but that place has lost my business forever with shenanigans like that.
