Title: [GB Check] Sanctuary Census for Sherryton
Post by: samwisekoi on Wed, 24 April 2013, 12:11:34
There is some question about who and how many Sanctuary sets are still outstanding.  To help answer that question, I have created a Google Docs form where people who still are owed a set can enter their information.

I will publish summary information here, and if he wants it, pass it along to Sherryton as well.

Disclaimer:  I am only doing this to help.  I don't have any relationship with Sherryton, Originative, the Sanctuary set or anything else.  Except that I am one of the people who still is missing my set!

TL;DR Fill out this form if you paid for a Sanctuary set and don't have it yet!

thanks for doing this! but I think you might want to add the other options besides a set, ex. numpad set and gamer set.

Mine are outstanding but supposedly shipped a MONTH ago so I added them. The tracking said they passed through a sorting facility a few days after where "send", but I don't believe that shipping from the states takes more then 3 weeks without an update from a German facility. Unless they are coming by ship (or some poor bastard swimming with the package strapped to his back), I doubt it will take 3 weeks to cross the ocean.

Just to ad to this...
I had two packages leave the same post office in China the same day within an hour of each other. According to the sellers, both were shipped the same way. One breezed through customs and took 7 days to reach me. The second (an external drive box) took a month to reach customs in Chicago, where it was returned, taking another 2 weeks. Before it got there, the seller shipped another using a different method, this time taking just 2 weeks.   Another package took 45 days to reach me between ordering, travel and customs.

It's crazy, but it happens.

 If the number of people is much greater than 10 it will show that he continues to lie to us and only damage his reputation more. won't solve anything though with regards to our sets.

There's a GB leader (aka coordinator) for the SG orders, around 20+ sets still MIA.

More than 3k worth of caps.

sets for Singapore to be precise. I'll link this topic to squarebox to see if he wants to weigh in as he doesn't frequent gh very often nowadays.

Hello Geekhackers,

I am very sorry about my disappearance.  I have been quite busy with many family troubles.  The PayPal troubles and the Credit Card troubles also gave me a bunch of headaches.
Everything with my family is getting better, and the web-site finally works better.  There are still some issues, but they will be fixed in time.
I am posting the Ski Data set this week.  I am getting 5 new springs.  Dolch and 5 new sets are being manufactured right now.  If there are problem with your
orders, then please e-mail me at sheraton@originativeco.com.
The rest of the Sanctuary keysets arrive this week.  I have to package them myself, and I will ship the rest.  I believe there are about 10 more people that has not
received them.

If you are planning to purchase from our store, then please send me an e-mail with the Order No. as the title.  In the summary, please post the shipping address and the order.

Thanks,

Sheraton
I would take his words with a grain of salt right now. That update seems like an obligatory response, but I feel there is much more that he hasn't said. He announced a lot more new products, yet still backlogged with tons of issues and transactions to take care of.

Common sense would tell you to wait until he gets all old problems resolved before throwing more money at him, which will only compound his workload.



This goes to what I said about his how much value his words hold. So predictable.

Someone's pants is on fire, and nose getting longer. That's what this thread proved. I hope you guys all get your sets one way or another.

has proven time and time again he is just out for profit obviously and is flat out lying now. this is getting beyond a joke and seeing how many big orders still outstanding, ORDERS that would have contributed to this set even being produced is just a disgrace.

I dont even care about this set anymore, its the principle.

will be doing everything in my power to make sure he never has a successful business.

also, it sickens me that he is still allowed a vendor forum here.

Agreed completely. I know it is difficult to stay away from things you really want, but you really should wait til there has been proof on the forums that his presence has returned and that he's actually completing transactions fully. Currently offering new items doesn't matter if you're not going to get them, like all of these people waiting for their sets, refunds, or other items.

Don't worry, I'm sure if you're from Korea he'll find a way for you to get your sets months before anyone else.

OP #2 updated.  14 people registered so far, including jil_jil32.

If you are missing >3 of anything, register and post the real number here and I'll update the form.  (Including you, jil_jil32.)

Remember, I have not validated anything, nor do I have any connection with Sherryton or Originative beyond wanting my keycaps.  However, if he or someone from Originative contacts me via PM or through one of the GH mods/admins, I will make the census information available to them for fulfillment purposes.

(Heck, if they ask nicely, provide the sets and fund the effort, I might ship the Sanctuary sets out with the Retro DSA sets.)

Anyhow.  That is the update.  14 of the "ten" people have registered so far.

OP here.

Sorry guys, but this thread went off on an unpleasant and off-topic tangent this morning, so I pruned it.  No offense intended, and this is not a comment on the tangent, but I am just trying to get a census here.

There already is a thread for commentary on the GB, and I suppose you all could take that topic up there.

But this is my thread, see, and there will be no such goings-on here. </cagney>

 Anyhow, sorry if this annoyed anyone, but thread-cleaning has been done.

ok fair enough if you dont want discussions here just keep it to a "count" nps.

however i dont see how any of it was offtopic since it was all related to this incident.

anyway, at least we know it was more then the 10 he stated, and that many sets is a bit more then i expected to still be waiting.

Good news from Sherry, from his website:
"I have introduced a few new products ranging from keyset to springs.  I am sorry for all the inconvenience I have caused everyone.  Most of the things have been fixed.  If you are missing any keys, then please send me an e-mail with the order no. at sheraton@originativeco.com. The sanctuary keyset was in South Korea until they shipped it back on Tuesday.  ALL of them will go out on Monday and Tuesday.  More products are going to be available soon.  4 new sets of PBT Dye Sublimation, 2 new sets of Double-Shot, 4 sets from IMSTO, a few novelty keys, and some rarer springs.  Thanks for all the patience, and thank you for continuing staying with us.  I will do another contest with the new keycap sets"

But i'll believe it when I have my keys in hand..

Just read posts above.  I'll remove anyone who suddenly gets their set(s), but if ALL of them are sent out on Mon or Tue, that might be moot.

However, I too shall believe it when I see it, and I note that WHICH Mon and Tue are not specified!

Anyhow, I'll update OP#2 with the latest totals in a bit, but I think I'll only do what I said I would do in the OP.  Publish a count, and provide missing order info to a party or parties who might be able to fulfill the orders.

Off to work on shipping my own GB now.

I must have missed all this. I've been away for a couple of weeks, busy with holiday, and work, and Hawaii, and family troubles and credit card and paypal issues... wait what was I saying?

Oh yeah, I got my stamps email on the 30th of April. Anybody received their sets the last few days since this last lot of emails got sent out? And is anybody still waiting on an email?

Apparently mine was shipped with the same tracking label from March, but there has been no activity with it whatsoever.

Nice one.  So everyone now agree's that Sherryton has stepped up and delivered on this transaction?

All he needed was a little trust and patience..... which is getting harder to achieve here on Geekhack these days  ;) .

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.  I think this thread might be moot if everyone actually (and finally) receives their sets.

Who can say?  Maybe his vendor forum will be moot as well.

I am just happy I got my keycaps.

I still don't think people should let him get off easy since they got their sets.  His business practice an service has been completely unethical and generally terrible.

Agreed.  Not the first poor experience I've had buying through him, but it will definitely be the last.

People should understand the risks of participating in group buys. No one is making you buy from sherryton. You know you'll still buy from him ;)

I posted about this earlier in the sanc thread.

The risks DO NOT include expecting the kind of behavior that Sheraton has given us. To even suggest we should "expect" and assume that GB leaders are going to be as antagonistic and ineffective as Sheraton is laughable and pretty offensive to this community as a whole IMO.

I agree. We didn't buy into this expecting it to be flawless, quick service. We knew it wasn't going to run 100% perfectly, we knew it wasn't going to be quick. What we didn't expect was how disrespectful he'd be by ignoring PM's, Emails, Facebook messages and just generally not wanted to communicate in anyway to cover up whatever it was that went wrong.

That is inexcusable.

To me, what I can not accept in this GB is that people who purchased the sets directly from the website after the GB got the keys MUCH sooner than who participated in the GB months ealier. Many people still waiting for the keyset from the GB got no reply/notice/confirmation, yet still have "extras" for sale.

For better or worse, Sherryton is back on-line and most of the people who are on my list have gotten their kits.

So unless anyone objects, I am going to close this thread later today.

Could you keep this open for a bit longer. Haven't heard anything on the Singapore side, although if it was indeed posted out, it'll take more than a few weeks for it to arrive via first class.

I wouldn't place my money on "unfamiliar organizers", "poor track record" or "non-legit sources". MIA certainly isn't one of the risks that participants were expecting. BTW, does this break the record for the longest GB ever in GH? I would have trouble even tracking back when I paid for this.

The longest is 7bits R4.

But that is, the legend of legends :))

For anybody who missed my post in the main Sanctuary thread,

Mine was attempted for delivery so that's good news. Only downside is he addressed it to my forum name, and not my paypal or order form name (my real name). So now i'm having issues trying to convince the post office that there is nobody called Mr or Mrs Lycoth, and that it was a naming error.

My main issue will be if they are insist that I contact the seller, in which case I imagine i'm quite screwed. Trying to contact Sheraton seems to be somewhat impossible.

But at least he sent it out and it's in the country!

I was surprised that some people bought Retro DSA sets under only their forum name.  PayPal included.  I assume you didn't do that, but some people do.  So apparently it is possible to get international shipments that way.

Strange but true.

In the US, the mail goes to an address, not a person, so I guess it would work here.  Dunno about the Queen's Mail.
