Dado Set on Backorder?

So, back on March 19th, I placed an order for the Dado set. It still hasn't shipped. For the longest time, the shims were "out of stock". And now even the Molder-Arbor is showing the same.
Just curious how often ShopSmith has stuff like this still for sale, but everything is out of stock / on backorder?
Will I be waiting days? Weeks? Months?
Just asking about your experiences. I know nobody here can do anything about it.

Thanks!

It seems to vary depending on what item it is and how popular it is. Lately there have been some considerable delays. Delays, I might add, that were supposed to end in March. So, right now, it is kind of a crap shoot IMO. They will deliver. It may be a week or two yet ... and that is a guess ....
JMHO

I know some things that are not actually a shopsmith product are drop shipped from the manufacture. I don't know if that is the case with the dado or not. If so it is not shopsmith that is holding up the order. Maybe someone who has order the set might be able to lets us know???
