No I've never had a runaround like you're describing. For next time(?) try Musicians Friend-
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ They are just South of you, in Medford, Oregon.
Everything I've ordered from them was here within days- If you can, why not just cancel your order from "hotendote music" and get that 001 from M.F. or Sam Ash? That is rediculous. They should be there to support YOU!
