Bit of a difference than shopping from Amazon, huh? 
It can be very frustrating, but seek comfort in the fact that at least with this vendor, things always work out well. I feel for you, but just remember M has a wonderful reputation for a reason, plus the folks on this board are one of a kind. If they vouch for someone, it's for a reason.
Please keep us informed. I'm anxious for you. (Only because I too hate waiting, but I am very impatient).
Speaking of MM, has anyone heard from him lately? I'd PM a Mod to keep it private, but still don't have PM ability. We usually speak a couple of times a day, but it's been a few days and our usual communication method/s have been fruitless. Just a concern for welfare check, considering his children had been ill I believe.
