I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. Instead of a call-back with final pricing, I would ask you for an email address, this would allow me to time shift, to contact you late at night.
The issue is people are trying to run their businesses with too few people, therefore they take on too many responsibilities themselves, and don't have time to do them all.
This is why the damn magazine hasn't been produced, I'm guilty of the same thing. I'm in the process of training somebody to take that job over. I can't speak for every vendor, but for the club its a money issue. We don't make enough to hire a full time person to produce the magazine. I had to wait until the right person in the right situation presented themselves.
