Don't need any congratulations. You obviously didn't read and research the timeframe involved with the 5231's, all the Chinese holidays, the supply being cut back, promises and shortcomings from Dahua. I could go on and on.
Ask Andy for your money back and choose another solution if you can't provide a short term "loan", in your words. They will sell in 10 seconds flat to others waiting a lot longer.
We protect our own, and especially Andy. Airing your dirty laundry here won't get the response you're looking for. The guy is solid, professional and fills the orders 1st come, 1st serve. I need 10 more 5231's. Please cancel your order.
