It's not completely unheard of. There was another cast site years ago that had abysmal turnaround times. Never shipped on time, never kept his promises, quality was eh. But no matter how many times people complained, others still actively went to bat for him. He thankfully finally closed down, but guys are good at making friends who will always buy from and defend them.

But, there's also the fact that a lot of sites used to put together lists of cast sites for reference. He was always on them, and they haven't been updated in years. So he still gets promoted to new customizers, and newer sites get ignored. And then there's his stock. You go to his site and see something like 2000+ items?! Yeah, that's gonna attract anyone that doesn't know better. So if you're making consistent big sales to new creators, but shipping as little as possible, you can pull good money when you're not taking on the expense.
