Unfortunately, I too had a similar problem. I DID leave my credit
card number on the web page after no luck on the phone line. And weeks
later, my order has still not been fulfilled. I have six of his boxes,
and was ordering some more including one to go to A61AJ, but unfortunately
they never came. Are they still in business? I guess I am going to
have to clone the box myself!

My experience is that John will send your order out the next day if you
leave him your credit card number in the email message. Alternatively,
if you send him a check or send your credit card number in a USPS letter
(snail mail) he will send your order out the same day as well.
If you are asking him a technical question via TELCO answering machine,
your odds of getting an answer are slim to none. His business is so
strong (good) that he just doesn't have time. That's why he put up the
web page. However, I've had emails back from him in a day or two if the
question I have posed on email is unambiguous.
He's very much in business as far as I can tell.
I just don't understand the reluctance of people to send their credit
card number on the Internet. People hand their card to
waiters/waitresses/clerks etc and they have all the capability to write
it down (after you leave the store) and use it. A hacker has to
intercept it, in total, at the time it's being transmitted!
Additionally, you are only responsible for $50 of the fraud, if any at
all! (As long as you call your credit card issuer within 48 hours once
you discover the fraud.) At least that's the way mine works. No flames
please, just my opinion. You may have yours too, that's ok.
73!
