Third Strike for STRATosphere

Am I the only one who's experienced issues with Stratosphere parts? Over the last couple years I've placed three orders and they've all gone sideways. The first was an American P bass body that was clearly a deformed factory reject. When I brought it up with them they offered 20$ credit . . . Later I ordered a pickguard and bridge that took weeks to arrive and looked nothing like the photos. I avoided using them for a long time but then they listed an MIJ 62 Reissue body I really wanted, so I decided to give them one more try. Jokes on me, after ordering it a I got an email saying they already sold it elsewhere. And yeah it's totally my fault for even trying a second time, but I'm still all steamed up about it, grrrr!
