Ordered up some glass from a local supplier. Not far short of a grand's
worth. Had to be sent off for toughening after cutting and polishing etc,
so 'about 2 weeks'

Phoned them after the two weeks. 'Should be the end of this week'
Phoned them again - they'd get back to me. But didn't.
Went round this Tuesday. 4 weeks after ordering and paying the full price.

'It's here - waiting collection'

I'd made a point of getting it delivered when ordering - far too big to
fit in a car.

'We'll deliver Thursday before 09.30'

It's now 13.35 and just come off the phone to them. They don't know, but
think it will be today. Sometime.

Perhaps it's just me, but paying in advance seems to take the urgency out
of things. ;-)
