Something I learned growing up is that if you expect things to go according to plan, you're going to have a bad time living life.
Live and let go. No need to put yourself through unecessary stress over things you can't control.
I'd take a gander and say it's probably out of Sideshows control too. Do you really think they are deliberately delaying your order? Come on now....don't take it personally nor should you expect 100% perfection. Flexibility comes a long way. As a business, I am pretty sure Sideshow is stressing out too considering they have customers to keep happy.
Patience and understanding goes a long way folks.

I'm expecting transparency.. I'd rather be told what to expect than not told anything at all.
If they don't know when their order is arriving, they should. And they shouldn't charge for something on Monday/Tuesday, when they know it won't arrive to them until the following Monday or Tuesday. That's just a stupid way to do business.
I've NEVER ordered from a place with such a slow turn around. When I get charged for things at HLJ or amiami, they always ship out that same day. With BBTS, the longest I've waited was probably 36 hours or so.. I just shipped a $650+ order from them and it didn't take nearly as long as it's taken sideshow these last few purchases. And like I said, if this weren't becoming more common, I wouldn't be as annoyed.
Perhaps they need to wait until their stock actually arrives in order to process payment.
Trust me, I have patience. If I didn't, I wouldn't preorder figures like the mark 6 or 46. I'm fine with waiting.. But I'm not fine with them sending out shipping and processing notices on a Monday, processing the payment, then staying silent for a week because their order hasn't even arrived to them.
Is it that difficult to type out a "we're not expecting this to ship until next week" email? I've gotten plenty of delayed emails before.
I will never get super annoyed at a figure being delayed by a quarter, but when they keep pulling this, it gets on my nerves. And like I said before, it'd be a little different if their $20 shipping didn't ALWAYS take 6 days to get to me.
While I understand it all to well, it is funny when its not happening to you
