Well I have had no response from 'Bill' at WBW, so as you can see they are named.
Here is the timeline, have tried to keep it factual and emotion free.

I am spending to a budget - buying items to resell. I am buying multiples of different items.


23 Feb - Asked for shipping quote on 6 multiple items, get an invoice sent with shipping cost of $171

24 Feb - I query high shipping cost pointing out items will fit in prepaid USPS box, cost of $58.50
Add items to order and request new post quote.

25 Feb - Postage re quoted at $67.95 new invoice sent, 3 out of the 8 items are no longer available. I request other items be added to make up the budget.

26 Feb - Receive email noting revisions, however the person that does international orders is at a trade show for a week and can't do anything till they return.

3 Mar - During that week I add 2 more items to the order

8 Mar - Told one of these items is out of stock. Get an invoice - paid invoice.

11 Mar - Told that paypal payment has just arrived - it left my account immediately so I have no idea where it went for 3-4 days.
Also told one of the items I ordered and paid for is out of stock, would I like to modify order? I add 2 more items for same cash amount to order.

19 Mar - told that one of the items is out of stock. I say send what you have and leave me in credit.

31 Mar - got no idea what is happening - have emailed the owner on 29 March but no response.

1 Apr - emailed asking if the order has shipped yet.

The 3 items I was informed were no longer available on the 25 Feb are still on website as available on the 31st March...

Update 5 Apr. Still no word from either the owner or the sales department, this is ridiculous! How hard is it to send an email?

I have updated the rating from 'bad' as I did get my items, they were all there, prices are reasonable and I guess benefit of the doubt has to be given.

I have had one previous order that was good as well, there are 2 differences this time round, 1st order I got shipped to a US address and it only had multiples of 2 different items, this current order has multiples of 7 or 8 different items and is shipping international. Seems only one person at WBW is qualified to ship international, perhaps they are overwhelmed, to me it shouldn't make any difference, the only real change from shipping to a US addy is that you need to fill out a customs dec for international which tales about 30 seconds.
 
I've dealt with WBW on 2 seperate occasions both went off without a hitch and the shipping destination was international as well.
1st order could fit in International Priority small flat rate box. The 2nd was too large so I had them ship 1st class International.
My email was responded to quickly, even when they were attending a show for the week end.
Man I feel for ya, there is nothing more frustrating then not being able to get answers.
Sir, at this point if it was me I would call them (they answer) and start the order all over again from scratch.
I agree with ya on the International shipping part, I've had a couple of dealers make it sound like ya need some special qualification in order to ship International. (if you can read, you can fill out the form)
Anyways good luck
 
Thanks wizzard.

Yesterday I sent an email stating a paypal claim would be made if I didn't receive postage details within 24 hours. Miracle of miracles I received a response! Yet another item was struck off the order for out of stock and the order was sent after my email yesterday but I got a tracking number which indicates 'shipping info received' so fingers crossed they have actually been sent.

Seems there was a 'hospitalization' and a slack replacement worker who didn't answer ANY international emails (still doesn't account for the owner not responding) - I smell BS, but benefit of the doubt and all that.

Thing is the original 3 items (these were LE knives that would not be restocked) that were 'no longer available' and started the whole mess are still listed as available and in stock on the website and have been there through this entire ordeal. So something doesn't seem right at all.
