I communicated with A for about a month, and he does indeed communicate very well. But as we all know, some great sounding people have ended up disappearing. So the bottom line is delivering. I told A my medical situation and why I need to make sure the vikings are good, and he was honest with me in telling me he had had some customer feedback that the past lot of those had not met their expectations, while others were fine. So I held off and we kept in touch, and he told me he had gotten a new lot and everyone was telling him they were good. So I ordered, this week. He picked the funds up a day late, not sure why, but he told me that yesterday and that they would show up before 10:30 AM and asked me to let him know when it arrived. And they did indeed show up before 10:30 AM today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see he added about 10% extra to make up for the extra day, even though I told him for me that was no big deal. I will know quality today, as it is a very bad pain day, white ate five threes viks, but based on the feedback of trusted members here (looking at you @mrcrowley !) I'm sure they'll be fine.
Let's take care of this supplier. Be careful who you give his info to, don't share too many details, etc.
