Hmm, it can be frustrating when a company promises a customer a certain time and then misses that time. Three weeks over is annoying, but not excessive. I would say that you should give them the benefit of the doubt. Custom iems, unfortunately can involve a lot of patience. You may very well require a re-fit, that often happens. That involves yet more waiting.
 
At the end of the day, hopefully you receive something you will enjoy for a long time.
 
I do not believe nationality has anything to do with it. You would have been better off not to have mentioned that, as I think it is separate from the wait issue.

You seem to be overreacting to a relatively small delay.
 
It's an annoyance to receive your earphones three weeks late, it's not a reason for huge anger.

 

[Anaxilus]

I think it's okay and reasonable to be annoyed.  I think your reaction is waay over the top.  I have to ask for a glass of water 3x's when I go for Dim Sum.  Oh well.

it's unfortunate that things didn't go smoothly. sometimes they don't. there may be any # of reasons that it didn't get to you in the originally stated time period. it's not necessarily the case that any one person was deliberately lying to you or trying to act in bad faith. i don't get your extreme upset. this is a small matter and a frustrating experience. if you're a doctor surely you routinely deal with matters of far more consequence (perhaps matters of life and death)!  i'd think that'd help put things in perspective.

Get used to it. I have my DAP delayed for more than 10 times till I don't even want to speak about it. I don't know how many times had the promise been broken on me.
It was horrible, but I have come to learn that the world is not Asia and so you can't expect the same thing from other people.
 
Your delay for ES5 is a small case compared to mine. Don't overreact. Things happen. Learn to live with it.

A bit harsh, don't you think? 
 
So the guy's a bit upset about the delivery date being missed by Westone on two separate occasions (from what I gathered, anyway) and he's complaining about it.  I see no problem with that.
 
And yes, I agree that he's font makes it rather difficult to read, and, English isn't his first language.  But then, we're a large community spanning the globe. 
 
The OP should probaby have chosen a different user name, as I see this similar to tatooing a girlfriend's name on your shoulder.  What happens when she dumps you?  Or in his case, when he gets his hands on the custom IEMs and all is forgiven, as I'm sure it will be (at least eventually).

I think you confuse an estimate w/ a promise w/ a blood oath.  Maybe us ignorant hakujin have to many words for 'promise' like the Eskimos have so many for 'snow'.  As a doctor in 'your culture', when you give a patient treatment and they die, did you break your promise?  Can I go post about you w/ the name 'murder doctor' on some Taiwanese health forum?  I assume your patients have never had to wait for you in a waiting room either?  Your practice runs as efficiently as a German train to Poland?  Just curious.  I know I've exceeded my daily Head-fi allowance so I'm done here.  

 

[Kunlun]

maybe an estimated ship date by a company isn't the same thing as a sacred promise that someone can lose face over
 
maybe you are really taking this personally and you have an inferiority complex about being Taiwanese, I don't think the delay had anything to do with that.
 
What kind of doctor are you, by the way?

Yes, it was harsh. I'm having an awful day & felt like being mean to someone.

I honestly think the above comments are way out of line and there's no excuse for posting them, no matter what.

I think you are taking Kunlun's post out of context.  He was simply reflecting that posters own comments back at him cynically.  He's the one who somehow brought nationality, culture and race into the discussion from the get go.  That was my reading.

He did bring the nationality issue, and that's how he feels about it, and he might be right or wrong about it - we don't know. That is still no excuse, cynically or otherwise, to make such a comment.

I've read stories from practically every custom iem and remold company where some people didn't get their iems shipped out at the time the company promised they would ship. I've personally gone through this as well. Take it with a grain of salt and stop drinking from the:
