Boy you guys sure have a whole lot more patience and understanding than I do.... IF I prepaid for a barrel well over a year ago and the guy cashed and spent my money with no product shipped or even a response to my inquiry as to the status, I'd be in my car to show up at his door demanding the barrel AND a substantial refund of part of the money just because.. Why people put up with this type of poor business practice, regardless of how nice a guy someone is or how busy, is just beyond me understanding..
