I think I picked up in the couple thread I've read that he's outsourcing some of this stuff? I'd bet that he can't fund getting some of your orders made and that's why you're not getting yours and other people are getting theirs.
One things that kills guys like this is inventory sitting on his shelves from minimum orders he has to place. I bet he has inventory that could be turned into cash to help him move the orders he's stuck on along.
I'd be willing to buy something he has in stock to help him make a small business in a post crash world work. If several of us did that, then it might work out.
Of course without him communicating, this is all my assumption and we all know what that's worth. I could be totally off base and the guy is a ****** that does screw people over for fun and profit. In which case, his address doesn't seem like a super secret. Y'all could easily get his local law to visit him on your behalf.
