it's never a surprise that people not only want the lowest prices in town, but also the fastest shipping as well. gimme gimme gimme.
the shipping times take what they take. 5 days 20 days 2 months whatever - sometimes things are hard to source or their supplier doesn't have it ready to go or they are on vacation or there is a public weeklong holiday. things come up.
and by the way you said that the watches are great and you are happy with that. isn't that the important thing??? on the other hand, if "pay today ship today" is so important to you, pony up the 50 to 100 or more that other dealers charge and choose someone else. i have read your post a few times, and it doesn't seem that the "problem" lies with silix - it appears that the "problem" lies with you and your expectations.
best of luck though
