Help needed in Montana

[Aussie_bob]

As some of you may remember last year i ordered 6 actions triggers rails etc from Lawton`s and was stuffed around for 6 months then when my permit to import was about to expire they supposedly delivered to Leroy`s big Valley Gun Works but they had failed to check if the export permit had gone through. Meanwhile Leroy had never received any paperwork to even start on getting an export permit the documents had supposedly gone missing. Well since that time i have finaly received the new permits for importation into Australia and copy of dealers license and sent them on to Leroy`s by registered mail.
I have never had verification that the actions actually arrived i have sent emails and have had no reply have been getting up early mornings to ring but again either get disconnected signal or nothing at all.
Can someone tell me is Leroy's open for business or whats happening i have had this $6,000 tied up now for 7 months.
I can talk to my friend in Texas and she gets my emails but there seems to be a problem with Montana.
Are they in a Black whole. I deal with Sinclair, Harrell,Bruno`s, PAC_Nor & others without a problem no hitch or Glitch but ever since placing the order with Lawtons its been broken promises or just plain no communication.
Could someone in Montana Ask Leroy`s to check that my emails haven't gone into junk mail please.

Just an update and thanks to Mike for his time.
Mike did eventually get the answering machine and seems they have closed up shop and gone to the shot show so if no one is there to sign for the documents i dare say they will be returned to me.
This has been a very disappointing experience from the outset and can see why other businesses are reluctant import actions.
Ordered in June 2007 with a 2.5 to 3 month delivery date which blew out to 6 months and lost paperwork etc for export. Then a Months wait for reissue of new documents this end, now no one that end to receive them and even once they get delivered 6 to 8 weeks to get the export permit so all in all could be 10 or eleven months before i see the actions.
Its no wonder people buy Remington's and have them sleeved etc.

Expiper, The Kelbys thing is very expensive for products other than their own, in house stuff.. I asked them to handle a Broughton Barrel about 2 years ago, the price of the barrel was US$350 and kelby fee for just handling the shipping was quoted at US$300.. I politely said no thanks..JR..Jeff Rogers.........
