Not yet - they are very slow to answer emails and the time difference makes voice/fax communications really hard. I will do so next week if I must, but I really wish I knew what our firm dates are, rather than crying wolf. Of course it would also be nice to know if prices are going up, by how much and when. Or maybe not so nice.
