my stuff gets to me quickly too, though it took a while to set up my account, apparently Egypt is in Europe according to the subastore Map/Country list...i was being fooled all along

Erik, don't make stupid assumptions that I didn't check my spam mail. It was the very first thing I checked before I emailed them my inquiries. I have waited 12 days to find out what happened to my 4-day delivery order. How long should I wait?

Also, I received their order confirmation email in my inbox after I placed my order so the orders@scubastore.com address is not being filtered out as spam.

Just because you don't see me posting means absolutely nothing at all. I haven't had any reason to post anything for a very long time now and I have a different email provider as well but I have ordered from this store a number of times.

Everyone else, thank you very much for responding and for your helpful suggestions and assistance. I deeply appreciate your taking the time to do so.

Even though Egypt is next to the mediterranean sea like Spain and the UAE is still way closer than the US, the distance is not a problem. DHL is quite efficient as Erik pointed out.

But when a store asks a customer to pay x amount of dollars to ship their items within a specified amount of time, it is not unreasonable for them to have the expectation that their items will be received within the given time frame. Not withstanding that, I still ordered my items 14 days in advance and that is over 3 times longer than what I paid for.

Note: I made sure that my two masks were in stock before I ordered them. All the other items that they did not have in stock, I ordered from another store.

I understand that there can be a myriad of reasonable reasons as to why those items may be delayed (I run my own import/export business). I can accept that they may not be able to ship my items on time. Its part of running an international business. Heck, maybe I accidentally entered an incorrect credit card number!

What I cannot accept is that they have not bothered to respond to my inquiries as to the expected time of delivery of my order or whether there were any problems at all processing my order. What makes me more disappointed is that I know that emails from them are not being filtering out as spam.

Still, I hope....

Sorry for my assumptions, but I still think posting a big slam is not cool. I'd be pissed too, but I'd wait until I had a solid response before shitting all over a well-reputed service.
I'm a month overdue for a great book I ordered on Amazon, but it's the first time out of many orders and I'm not going to start saying Amazon sucks because of one incident.
Seriously good luck and I hope this gets resolved and you get your gear... it sucks when your anticipating the stuff in the mail.

Hi all,

Problem resolved! Sorry for using the word "stupid assumptions" with you Erik.

Scubastore says that it sent me a reply on June 5th to my first inquiry on June 4th. I didn't get that email but I believe that they did send it.

They also sent me another email dated June 10th in response to my 2nd email dated June 7th.

Here is why they cannot process my order:
"Unfortunately we need to inform you that we can not send any Scubapro products out side Europe anymore.

So we can't send you the SCUBAPRO FUTURA 1 BLACK-BLACK
We are really sorry for this inconvenience!
For your information, please see our Terms and Conditions (at the bottom of our web page):

However we are happy to invite you to purchase other brands to substitute your order.
As the: Beuchat MUNDIAL Black Black "

So, firstly, I want to (as I did in my reply to Maria at Scubastore) thank them for making the attempts to reply to me and I appologise to everyone for my harsh tone and thanks again everyone for your help and suggestions.

I'll post again in another 6 years or so.....(probably with a different email address as well).
