TFA quotes a logistics company employee who placed a deposit 7 years ago and still has not received a single semi.

I’ve been late on deadlines before, but not 7 years late.

The deposit is generally not on the deadline of delivery, otherwise you would have no need for the deposit.

And again, you're not dealing with global mass production of materials, or are you?

But seven years, though... Ouch.
