Title: Journey of Imsto Keycaps from China to California.
Post by: samwisekoi on Mon, 22 October 2012, 11:42:48
Below is an order thread between me and Imsto starting on 9-Oct-2012, continuing through November 7th, when they arrived at my office, and were exactly what I had wanted.  I am happy now.

I'd say that's typical especially now that he has a new born baby.  He must be busy with the diapers and stuff. lol  :)

Seems like you ordered, he messed up, got the order right shipped out 5 days later with a little lack of response in between the mess up and the shipping date.

As for the tracking it was shipped out today it takes a little while to update so don't need to worry.

This is more or less normal, imsto  is trustworthy though so no need to get scared.

I've had a 3-4 month transaction with imsto for TWO custom keycaps I wanted. Mis-communications between us and the agent, but it got sorted out and at no time did I feel like imsto was not doing the best he could to sort everything out.

Shipment has appeared on tracking site.  It has made it to the US!

I updated the OP with the latest.

Thanks again, all.
