Hello All,
Yesterday I came across IFG's latest web page promotional offer:
"
New Year promotion: your
unifom package deal is ready by the time estimated or it's
free! Ask for details."
You know...the devil is always in the details. 
I currently have the following outlined pending order with IFG:
M-40 Wool Overcoat @ 365.00/E,
Status unknown.
Set of Bersaglieri Tunic Collar Tabs @ 35.00/E,
Status: Was told by Sal at our event they were completed but forgotten at home.
2 Sets of Soldato Celto Rank Bars @ 40.00/E,
Status: Was told by Sal at our event they were completed but forgotten at home.
2 Pairs of M-1912 Italian Boots @ 400.00/E,
Status: Was told by Sal at our event they were in tied up in customs in Ireland as of 04/05 (12 Months Ago) and would be shipped soon.
The order also included 50.00/E of prepaid shipping. I have not been contacted. or had any of my e-mail inquiries answered for about a year now. All of these items were paid for Up-front. In
Italics is the last status of each item communicated to me by this vender. All were originally ordered on July 3, 2004...
22 months ago.
My questions are:
1) With this kind of service....isn't Salvatore going to be supplying a lot of
Free uniform packages to a lot of people , or is he just going to be collecting A LOT OF MONEY for very expensive uniform package deals form a lot of people?
2) How can IFG get these new orders done...when they (He) still has these really, really, really OLD orders to do?
This is all of course academic, but just for fun.......if anyone else has a PENDING order with IFG that they know they will never see.......fell free to add it on here. You could maybe help save someone else some money in the future.

P.S. As a side note......after our desert EVENT with Sal....he had left a pair of his shoes here in the States, and he also requested that I return to him his flag he domnated to our unit. I mailed them back to him at my own expense. In return, Sal borrowed from me a nice minty Beretta M-34 holster, along with a spare Beretta ammo magazine during the event. They wound up going home with him........last time I saw the holster, it was hanging on a new IFG tunic in a photo on the IFG web page.
