While you're at it, status update for r2.5? It going to ship before Christmas.?

Gajible · « **Reply #802 on:** Thu, 15 December 2016, 03:12:21 »

Really hoping to get this board in time for the Seattle meetup..

My order has no status, which is a tad worrisome.

Can we give up all hope of receiving these before christmas? I just got my Tengwar Keycaps in and I don't have a board to put them on.

He never said they would arrive before christmas, he did say they would ship before christmas though.

BAS1C · « **Reply #806 on:** Sun, 18 December 2016, 01:23:05 »

I was told weeks ago, mine (extras) was going to ship that same week. Still sitting in US

hopefully stuff starts moving out in the next week or two!

To be totally fair, LD has missed just about every deadline he's set. We all paid a lot of money to get these and we're approaching almost 3 months of delays with pretty poor communication. I really don't mind waiting if there's active communication and fair estimates, but we haven't gotten that. All we have to go off of are sparse updates that basically say, "sorry, things will ship in the next week or two". I'm pretty frustrated at this point. I would've just bought a used ZZ96 if I knew it would take so long, but that's not an option anymore. So we wait and cross our fingers that we get our boards before the end of the 2016.

To be fair, Lunaris is a full time medical student, and he's worked hard to source all these amazing projects. His track record is good, and I'm sure he will fulfill and update everyone very soon.

It's currently the holidays, and I'm sure everyone is bogged down trying to spend time with family & finish work / school ASAP.

That doesn't somehow exclude the need for better communication. He was dealing with some stuff a few months ago and was very good about communicating with everyone through that, and that was good for everyone. It gives us a chance to be understanding and to show our support for LD. If there's no communication happening it doesn't allow us the chance to be understanding, it just makes it look like nothing is being done and causes frustration.

LunarisDream · « **Reply #815 on:** Mon, 19 December 2016, 07:10:24 »

Ok guys, it's 8:46 PM here, there are a couple things you all deserve to/should know:

1. It's finals period, **** is whack.

2. Apart from the remakes, there were various parts that were missing/lost during transit. Will spare you all the details but they have been accounted for now, and everything that is missing should be packed with the v2.5 & v2 remakes shipment, which is slated to arrive at my place tomorrow. I will commence shipping on remaining v2 orders, then v2 remakes, then v2.5.

2.a. A large part of why things went unaccounted for/missing was my lack of experience, the size of the v2 buy, and the fact that I neglected to tally up everything and where they were going to. This is on me, the delays are all on me, I'm sorry.

2.b. For the v2 remakes - I was notified last minute (literally one week before now, after everything was nearly complete) that they were made at the new factory (which had a higher cost of anodizing than the old) and tried to get as close to the old color as possible. We'll find out tomorrow just how close they are, and if you're still not satisfied, it'll have to be either a refund or continued waiting, but waiting is really not worth it at this point, especially with LSv3 on the horizon. I understand if you'd like a refund if the color is significantly off since that was the whole point of the remake, and will do my best to accommodate.

3. Sorry for not responding to PMs in a timely fashion (or at all). The pressure is kinda getting to me and I've been trying to set PMs aside to get my mind back to where it needs to be (even though, honestly, here is where it needs to be until things are wrapped up).

4. I will go through and respond to all outstanding PMs tonight and tomorrow. If you have not received a response within ~~12 hoursp~~ (sorry, make that 24), please send me another PM for a status update.

5. If you are interested in the outcome of my visit to the police station: I will be fined up to $1.6k and/or detained (read: jailed) for 3-10 days, with the possibility of being deported from China. No, I didn't do anything illegal, I just didn't know that I had to apply for a residence permit and am 3 months overdue... which I guess makes me an illegal immigrant. The irony is tangible.

Thanks for the info LD. Really sorry to hear about all the **** that you've had to deal with for this order. Seems like things snowballed. Hopefully things will go smoothly from here on out. Take your time to do things properly so you are able to keep everything accounted for - just keep the updates and transparency coming! Hope your issues with the police are resolved, that's not fun.

Thanks for the transparency. Also, sorry if I came across as rude in my posts above... Just got frustrated with waiting and no update for a while, I know it shouldn't be much longer! Thanks LD, stay sane. Good luck on finals, and stay out of prison dude!!!

r2.5 and r2 remakes arrived today. Some 60-70 kilos (about 150 lbs - no, I don't even lift bro) of stuff hauled up 6 flights of stairs by yours truly (totally gonna say that every time I get GB stuff in). Sorting them right now in my shoddy work area. PMs still need to be replied to.

Working on a packaging solution. Two or three cases arrived dented by USPS last time and I don't want that to happen again - would only multiply the wait and cause lots of grief (the replacements for those are in this current shipment I'm working through). I honestly thought they were packed perfectly and don't know what the hell happened. I don't have decent packing material in the US and am unable to find good substitutes, so I'm probably going to ship some boxes and packing material I ordered (those bundles of white foam in the back of the pics) to the US and use those. Due to the influx of Christmas mail from everywhere, USPS/DHL will definitely run into delays. But rest assured I am working on it, and nothing is missing.

Hey LunarisDream, thanks for the update, look like things are moving along now so that's quite the welcoming sign! All that packing foam looks amazing! Thanks for keeping with us and hauling all our boards up and down! Looking forwards to seeing the future progression as well as we get closer and closer to getting these shipped out.

Bad news about the remakes. It's been close to a year of waiting now for the ink blue, and... sigh. I don't know what to say. Double the waiting time for what you wanted and it still ends up being so far from that.

I will create a form for those who wanted their gray blue boards remade. Be it a refund (probably preferable with LSv3 coming soon), keeping it, or something else... I will do my best to accommodate.

I need to unwrap the rest of the boards to be sure, but I believe so.

It's the most popular color option too which makes things even more complicated...

No, we didn't all know his track record ahead of time, and there was no indication of it within the GB.

We are aware of the circumstances he is in and I think it's fair to say that everyone is willing to be patient until he is able to work everything out, provided there is still some communication between LD and those waiting to receive their orders. It's not unwarranted to ask for an update when there's been no updates for weeks, or when a shipping date is brought up and then missed.

That said, it's not an excuse to start causing problems if you don't hear from him immediately, or within a few days.

aznreaper · « **Reply #843 on:** Thu, 29 December 2016, 14:14:10 »

You're really making no sense. If anything, it's a little positive reinforcement while others are demanding updates lol. I think you are confused buddy. And does it really matter that I'm from 2.5? No, I don't think so. I want my board just as bad as everyone else. And fyi, I had no idea of his circumstances or track record. Just like I had no idea the ink blue cases have been having problems and LD doesn't mention that. So I'm not seeing you point here?

Happy New Year everyone. Sorry I couldn't ship these out in time for Christmas.

Most of the issues with this buy have been clear and I will now actively update the orders spreadsheet with up-to-date info so you don't have to keep checking back into the thread and scanning for a new comment from me.

I will put up a form shortly for feedback from ink blue buyers on what they'd like to do in light of the colors still not matching the original as they should've been.

The first two buys included stabilizers as an add-on option but is not included in the kit by default.

I have received the remainder of the parts (screws, acrylic diffusers, etc) and will ship them out in the upcoming days. Getting orders out the door is in all of our best interests and will help me better tally and manage what is remaining.

forevermadrigal is perfectly warranted in asking for an update and we don't need to tell him off for that - he's been very patient throughout all of this; you all have been. I truly do appreciate it.
