BCA has two departments.
1. Machine shop and wholesales
2. Retail and web site.
It seems that the two departments are completely separate. It's like they don't talk to each other and it is darn near impossible to combine shipping if you place an order that has items from both. So my guess is that the retail side has no idea when to expect complete uppers. Also, while my opinion is that BCA has great stuff (especially for the price), they tend fall down on shipping lead times (everything seems to come my way via slow boat, two week UPS), shipping prices (just a single stripped bolt costs $10 to ship) and customer service (as you experienced).
Just build one yourself. All of the individual parts are in stock.
