Perhaps so, when seen from your point of view, Vic. But other people
may have very valid reasons for wanting accurate shipping information
not promises that aren't kept. They may, for example, want to know if
they will even be in the country and able to take delivery when their
order is ready to be shipped. (This reflector has heard from a couple
of people who were going on DXpeditions, others may simply be off to a
place in the sun for the winter.) Others (again we have heard from at
least one) have sold their only radio to put down a deposit for the
K3, not realising it would mean they would be off the air for so long.

It may not matter if you have a shack full of other radios, are not
planning on going anywhere and are in good health and not
significantly past retirement age. But that still leaves a lot of
others, I'll bet, who need at best a promise, but if not that an
*accurate* prediction of when their order will be met.
