    I placed an order on Thursday, and today (Tuesdsay) the status of the order is still processing. I really should just bought from yap on ebay since they're both shipping from Texas and I suppose the eBay seller would be more "serious" about shipping times since he needs to uphold his reputation; additionally, the price is slightly cheaper with MS Cashback.

    When can I expect them to finally ship the friggin case?

    I only buy from Yap on Ebay. I have something like 6 Zeroshock cases of differing sizes...all purchased from Yap...and in each case, I received the case in a very short time. He is also very easy to deal with in that he answers questions, etc very quickly. Great seller.

    Yeah, seems like they're kinda slow getting things moving. Sorry, Shinza. I received the shipping notification on Tues for my order on the previous Thurs, not that bad, but could be a day or two faster.

    Just use amazon or ebay for fast shipping. Has anyone tried swoopo.com?
    Its kind of casino.

    Does anyone know if Shinza got hacked, went bust...? The website has been "under maintenance" for several days now.

    My Zeroshock III sleeve took about a week and a half to arrive but in between the order confirmation and the sleeve showing up at my door, I didn't hear anything from Shinza or FedEx. I recommend buying from Amazon. You get cheaper shipping, better return policy, and better communication.

    That said, the sleeve arrived and it's fine. Shinza got back to me when I asked what was going on and helped me sort it out.

    I had ordered a 10-11" laptop case from Shinza and it went out of stock right after I placed the order in mid march. I heard nothing for days and then spent several days trying to call or email Shinza for a status. When I finally got through (after about a week) they told me it was backordered for 3-6 weeks. I finally had to cancel the order. Shinza was not at all easy to deal with and I was very disappointed with my experience.
