Where is Discovery Telescope??

Good day group:

Does anyone know if Discovery Telescope is having some problems? They always answered my e-mails quickly prior to my sending payment for a mirror set. That was 2 weeks ago. I have sent 3 e-mails this week for an update and have yet to hear back from them. I'm starting to get a little nervous.
Have any of you folks dealt with them this week or in the last few days? I don't mean to imply anything or cause alarm to anyone but this behavior is very inconsistent for Discovery and its got me wondering.....

Thanks in Advance - Rob

I ordered a 15" mirror and an 8" dob from them a few years ago... several friends have too. The wait was far longer on the mirror than I was initially led to believe. This seems to be trademark for Discovery... waaaayyyy behind on delivery schedules, but if your willing to wait they usually deliver a great product for the $$$ spent. They had similar returns of my e-mails to them at that time as well. I just kept hounding them with phone calls... but finally gave up on waiting when what they told me would be three weeks was still not delivered 5 months later. I do think it is worth the wait though... just understand that this is how they work.
