I am not trying to bad mouth any one and I am really to new to know if this type of behavior is normal. So I figured I would just post my predicament here and get feed back.
Before the new year I purchased two nucs via the phone from a bee supplier the supplier was offering free shipping for his nucs and said he would email me later to dissuss a pick up location. Well 2 and a half months go by and he send me an email to verify the pick up location for me to meet him at. According to his web page it states that delivery would be late Aprial to early May. Well Aprial the 29th swings around and I email him for an update and he says the 23rd-25th of May. I am not to happy that all the blooms around me are in full swing but I know bees can be fickle so I take it in stride.
I sit back and watch the facebook updates from him posting pictures of tons and tons of packages that he is delivering. I read comments from his pages such as "Sorry we don't do much on Facebook this time of year, so very busy until end of May. We are running package bees all over Gods green earth. All is going well, will try to update some pictures soon."
All is fine and dandy until I get this email in my box.

OPTIONS
1. Refund your money
2. Come to our farm when they are ready and strong enough to pick up.
Probably in June.
Please let us know asap so we can plan and get you taken care of.
Please email us back.
Thank you for your understanding.
This has nothing to do with package deliveries.
Further emails have just blamed the weather and how they should move their farm up here if I am having perfect weather up here. While posting pictures of tractor trailers full of bees.
