Jul 17, 2009 - Reproduction Ming Dynasty bonsai pot ordered and payment sent via PayPal link from their website.

The rest of that thread continues in the usual fashion.

Nov 10, 2009 - Sent email inquiry, "Any chance you have a tracking number? Still no pot, and it sounds like others are waiting as well." (No response)
Nov 10, 2009 - Sent pm, "I'm not sure if you're getting my emails. Any chance you have a tracking number? Still no pot, and it sounds like others are waiting as well."
Nov 11, 2009 - Received a pm, "I dropped almost 100 pots at the post office and it seems they have, for some reason, been shipped in groups of about 20, your pot is in this batch, I will stop there again today and see if I can get a single tracking number for yours."
Nov 13, 2009 - Sent pm, "Great. Let me know what you find out." (No response)
Nov 16, 2009 - Sent pm, "Any word on this?" (No response)
Nov 17, 2009 - Robert Steven friended me on Facebook, so I contacted him to see if he could help.

I hope others had a better experience. I'm afraid this will be my last purchase from the AoB/KoB store. Too much trouble to go through again.

About 120 people to date, The people here on this thread either have or will this week.
So, did you order a pot Ovation, if so, let me know and I'll check the status, if not......?
To which I replied:
I did, and have emailed you, and am awaiting your reply. I ordered on July 17th and have received no update since. That, and whatever "if not......" means leaves much to be desired.
Which received a response:
Your pot was shipped early this week.
