Jim -
I had the exact same experience with them a few years back, and,
according to the many posts seen here, so have lots of other folks.
It seems that Texas Towers will ALWAYS say their stuff is in stock, just
to get the order. They really screwed me and the four other people who
had planned the day around a "no-brainer" order for Philystran!!
While otherwise not a bad company, I recommend NEVER buying from them if
your time is important to you, 'cause it's clearly NOT to them.
And TT, you can carry on all you want, now that you've infiltrated our
website with commercial plugs for yourself, but this group is a bit
smarter than that.
