i was the one to ask for the update, i believe that was about the 3 week mark, it has it listed to take 4-6 weeks for the piece and there has been 0 progress, at least thats what the emails make me feel, and now out of nowhere its suddenly 8 weeks for completion it just kills my desire for a piece

So you were asking Paul for an update a couple of weeks after the order was made? That also being during their Chinese Year celebrations. Feb16-March2, something like that.

I'm just trying to make sense of your timeline. Even if the forge was back on 2/27 and your order was placed during their festivities (two days into their celebrations), Paul's update is ten days after 2/27. That means if the order had even been read by 2/27, ten days is a lot less than 4-6 weeks of working time. I'm not trying to excuse the SBG store but Paul had put the Forge Direct stuff on hold for awhile (see the thread in the announcement section here).
I realize this is all a bit moot, as you have canceled the order and I can sympathize why you choose to.

so a quick update, in my original email sbg never responded since i asked about the refund 3 days ago, so i sent a new email to the customer service, i got a response that my sword is actually almost done, then about how usually they do make it in the 4-6 weeks quoted but sometimes delay, so im gonna give the forge direct another week, if its finished by the 13th next week, great i will get my piece and if not then i will request a refund again, hopefully it finished in the 1 week and i get my sword, i really do want it and am planning on reviewing it
i think this is a fair approach, dont wanna leave them in a tight spot if the sword is almost done
