    They are in conflict because before I ordered my kilt, I knew that it was not in stock, but was told it would be in stock within a week. When I placed my order, it was to have been in stock within 5 days, according to the Frugal Corner. Does that make sense?

    There have been some issues with other customers, if you go back far enough. I'm not the first. I was unaware of any personal issues (because I'm not a regular reader), but there are two guys running this company. It seems one of them should have been able to get in touch with me.

    I Ordered Two Kilts From Them Back On Jun 19. I Did Not Here From Them Till I Posted On This Site. I Spoke To Mark The Next Day Jun 29 Or 30, And He Told Me They Were On Back Order, And I Would Have Them Soon. I Just Hope They Come Before I Go Away On The 29th.
    I Also Ordered A Canvass Kilt From The Scottich Tartan Museum Back On May 10 Im Still Waiting For That I Got One Email Saying That They Were On Back Order And They Would Be In Any Day That Was About 2 Or 3 Weeks Ago Still Waiting.

    Sorry For The Typing I Dont Know What It Is. It Looks Fine On My Computer Hear At Work, But My Job Has A Lot Of Security Features On The Computers So That Might Be Why It Looks The Way It Does. But Like I Said On My End It Looks Fine.

    You don't see every word as capitalized? How odd!

    I would not blame the Frugal Corner. It sounds like it's the company on the other end, because they have not shipped out the tartan to Frugal Corner. They (Frugal Corner) is merely the middle man in the situation. This is as I understand it from above statements.

    I too, have personally waited on a kilt. An extra month and a half. So I understand what you feel. There's usually good reason. I also suspect that they are getting more business than they have before, suggesting that their supplier is having difficulty keeping up with orders.

    But that doesn't address my concern about unanswered emails and my last phone call.

    Well, I too have 2 of the 16 oz kilts on order with The Frugal Corner (1 in MacPhearson Dress and 1 in Pride of Scotland). Mine are not stock as my current size disallows me from ordering off the peg.

    I emailed back and forth and seemed to get pretty timely responses, one time there was a delay, but I found that the technically savy Mark, had just had some surgery and was away from his computer.

    We spoke on the phone and everything was handled very politely and very completely, and very pleasantly. Of course I too am waiting the for 4 to 6 weeks (oh please let it be sooner!!!) jonesing time.

    Based on my limited contact, I think something may have simply got dropped due to Mark's health issues. He is the only one to handle email and postings here.

    Here's to jonesing as a group, first one to get their package wins!

    Cheers,

    I just noticed this thread today. I am not sure if you sent email to me or Mark B.
    I answer emails everyday as I check them, Phones calls I usually return with a few hours.

    If we missed either or both I apoligize

    I Have not received either from you.

    Regardless..the Ancient Cameron is still inbound and you are one of about 12 waiting on that tartan. It is a new one for us and as may happen when we are told a box is coming in it sometimes is not what we think it will be.

    If you want..we will send a refund ASAP.

    Another good alternative would have been to trry sending us a private message on xmarks
