AD reasonable or not?

[Nocturnalized]

So, back in late December I asked to be put on the waiting list for a BLNR at my local AD. They confirmed in writing.

Yesterday I got a bit impatient. I wrote an email where I asked if this it was normal to wait in excess of secen months. I also noted that I have seen shops with no waiting for the BLNR in three different other countries.

The AD called me that same evening to let me know that they had in fact just got a BLNR that they could sell me without further waiting.


Now, I may be jaded, but that sounded like a crock to me.

Am I being unreasonable?
I honestly feel like doing my business in a different country now.
