Tony,
I respectfully disagree. Basic order fulfillment: recieve money, ship goods. There are lots of side issues certainly, but this is the core of it if the company is willing & volume is managable. I know, I work for a 15 person company that ships 2500 base units a year and ~13,000 accessory parts shipments per year netting about $14 million in sales. I don't know how many units Rio's Empeg division is shipping per day. I understand delaying until all the sales aparatus is in place, but I don't agree that this has to be the case. I simply believe that a vigorous company will fulfill the customer's desire to spend money regardless of internal issues. This can be chaotic & difficult for its employees, but refusing to sell is not good buisness practice, and I'm sure Rio knows this.

just say you weren't paying much attention...
