meow a cat is swapping in some vintage blacks for my Viper ^_^
Can't wait to see the results.
I really didn't want to have to make this post, but I'm getting a bit nervous since there has been a lack of communication. The last correspondence I received from meow a cat was on July 14, just over a month ago. Prior to this he was fairly responsive to PMs. On May 14, user merlin64 shipped the vintage blacks to meow a cat (who also purchased some from the same user). We discussed possible service options and pricing. A generous user, zanduby offered to send some LEDs to meow a cat for a side LED swap on the viper. Then he mentioned he was going through a rough patch and that he may not be able to work on my board when it arrives.
"Hopefully by the time the board gets here, my life has settled down again. If not, I'll be open with you about any delays. Shouldn't be much though."
On June 6, he notified me that both the Viper and LEDs have arrived, but that he had to go on an unexpected trip out of town for a couple of weeks, and that he will return on June 22 and will start work on my board immediately. The next correspondence received was on June 25th, and he told me he would be back in a few days.
Then on July 14 (last correspondence received to date), he told me that he won't be able to work on my board for personal reasons. He also he could have it shipped to someone else who could work on the board (along with the vintage black switches I purchased). He even said that he needed a bit to get the cash to pay for shipping, but not to worry.
I've messaged him three or four times since then, and have even offered to send him PP to cover any shipping costs so he doesn't have to worry about that. I have not yet heard from him.
So please meow a cat if you can read this, I would really appreciate an update on a board that a friend sold to me for a very decent price :/ and to anyone considering his services - please be aware. I understand tough times, trust me, and I know keyboards are probably the last thing on your mind. But if you are running a service, have a thread dedicated to it, and decide accept to work on someone's board, I would expect and appreciate some sort of communication following the announcement that you can't work on the board and are willing to ship it back out.
I'm not trying to witch hunt or call anyone out for anything yet (I don't know all the information or his situation) - I just felt the need to make my situation transparent as an attempt to eventually retrieve my board.
TLDR: Sent Viper and vintage black switches to meow a cat at end of May/beginning of June. No work has been done to date. Last correspondence was July 14. He still has my board.
