Her only real personal mess up is not dumping a bad shipper. She gives to many chances ...to forgiving. She really is a great person. What you preceive as a run around was sincere. She is from a 3rd world country and she is very trusting of others. (not always good in this biz) and when a guy says he shipped she takes him at his word. Shit it happensed to me on 20 sust...3 months...from greece! I will work this out so it does not continue, you have my word as a brother in iron.

Funny you mention her being from another country as a factor in shipping times, the the acceptance of the wait.
I've just been reading on this very subject recently, last night in fact.
Few cultures are as a fast paced as the US is. We want things yesterday, others are far more relaxed and one would be considered rude and obnoxious to demand the kind of service that is the norm in the West.
In addtition business relationships are formed over years<her shipper> and are hard to break. We're far more likely to drop someone in the blink of an eye. This isn't necessarily an easy thing to do depending on what the cultural values you have been raised on.
I'm not saying you're wrong. She needs to change her ways if she wants to deal with Westerners. US businesses learned to change their practices when dealing with cultural conflicts a long time ago.
Just trying to provide another point of view. I would ready to kill after a three month wait, but I'm used to, and expect better.
See now if they thought like us maybe they'd have a state of the art Space program and a military that could destroy an entire country in a matter of days, if we chose to.
Not to mention there's no one starving here.
