[comp.sys.amiga] MicroBotics

Just about 5 weeks ago, I ordered a MicroBotics 8-UP! DIP memory board for my
2000HD, placed on the same order as a MicroBotics memory module (?) for the
1000.  Two weeks after ordering, the store I was dealing with called
MicroBotics, and asked what was wrong.  MB's reply was that they don't ship
the 2000 and the 1000 boards on the same week, and they'd have to wait until
they were shipping 1000 boards, because they refuse to break up orders.  One
more week later, the store called again, and the reply they got THAT time was
that the boards weren't ready.  Last Monday, I called MB in Texas (from
MAssachusetts), and was told by a rather rude operator at MB that the boards
were out of stock.  The store I was dealing with asked them if the boards were
in 5 weeks ago when the order was placed, and the reply was "yes."  I was told
by the operator that this was out of their hands, and I shouldn't have called
them, and I must deal with the store I was dealing with (an Amiga repair
shop).  Now, I ordered this memory board for a project that was due a week
ago, and I've lost valuable time and the project.  What I want to know is - 
has anyone else out there has had this problem with them (MicroBotics)?
