Kind of Lame Fangamer

I ordered stuff from the Warp Zone Combo from Fangamer

A few day ago it was suppose to ship mid-June, now suddenly it won't ship till mid-July. They didn't send a e-mail, I found out by just browsing the site. It angers me because it's not professional nor is a excuse even given. I'm really fascinated with game merch sites and a lot are just a few people selling out of their homes, but to build good relations with clients you can't suddenly change shipping dates without reason.
Take  Geeksoap.net which is preparing to temporarily shut down for a month in preparation of a baby on the way. Geeksoap took the time to explain why it's going down and when it might be back up and it looks to be a two person operation.
The site isn't as glamorous as Fangamer and has less resources, but it took the time to explain itself.
Also why doesn't Fangamer head to any LA based cons or events, there are so many.
To be totally clear the Warp Zone Combo with the pipe mug is shipping mid July , the pipe mug is apparently taking longer, which is the reason it will ship mid-july. Orders without the mug ship now.
