I'm still wondering if he went off on vacation without leaving any sort of message on his voice mail that he wasn't available. OP overreacted, but I'm sure I would have been irritated if the guy didn't answer his phone for a couple of days with no explanation.
In fact, I had that happen to me when I bought the disc brake kit for the Dana 60 on my Gladiator. Only one company in the US makes it. I ordered it by phone, and the guy was supposed to get back to me with a shipping total later in the day. I didn't hear from him. I called a few times over the next few days (not 9 times like freakshow here) and got nothing but their regular voice mail. Turned out they closed up shop and went on vacation right after taking my order without bothering to put anything on their website or their voice mail.
Everything worked out in the end, and the product was fine when I finally got it. Yet the way it was handled wasn't professional at all. If you're going to hang your shingle out to do business, there are certain expectations. They didn't meet them.
It doesn't sound like the vendor here did either, regardless of all the heavy petting going on in this thread.
