I don't have my VE.A anymore, so if anyone is looking for one I'm down to transfer my order (black walnut + oak) before I pay for shipping, as long as bendrexl is cool with it.
I just noticed your PM, and that's no problem. If you find someone who would be interested in a Wenge set, they are welcome to upgrade - one of the oak+walnut rests cracked, so I'm looking to remake one anyway.
thanks, i guess i need an interpreter because i understood that sentence to mean "invoicing... this week" and "shipping on saturday"
so i guess i will see an invoice tomorrow for shipping... when?
That was confusing - my fault. Either way I missed the date - why? Simple answer is that I don't want to over/undercharge on shipping, and I haven't had the time to nail down the exact amounts for each of the 12 orders on my bench at the moment.
"Wait, what do you mean you haven't had time, Ben?!? You've had dozens of days, DOZENS!"True, and I am
really feeling the pressure to deliver quality product to all you incredibly patient folks. The more involved answer is that my own personal/IRL issues affecting this project's delays are real, but they're my own responsibility and I don't want to use them as excuses. I also don't want to cut any corners at this stage, so I'll take the time required to get it right. Keep in mind that I'm not exactly getting paid hourly and I can't take on any other projects until this one is done, so I'm very motivated to get this done and out the door!
What I really want to communicate is that there is *no* danger of not getting exactly what you already paid for - the only question is the exact date of delivery, which I am apparently incapable of estimating
I am still making steady progress, and it won't be much longer now.
