I don't even remember when I submitted my order. It's been a long time. Can anyone tell me when we got the invoice for this group buy?

I received mine in October 2012.

I couldn't find any invoice regarding this group buy during this perriod. Any clue where I can possibly find my order? I think I ordered at least 2-3 sets.

You could search your emails for "PayPal Invoice" Then just scout through them, I realise you will have a fair few but it shouldn't be too hard

samwisekoi · « **Reply #52 on:** Sat, 27 April 2013, 09:56:52 »

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.

Cheers!

This recent GB proves the limit and ability of the MO organizer handling mass orders. So, think thrice before joining any again..

TDub · « **Reply #54 on:** Mon, 29 April 2013, 16:04:01 »

If I remember correctly it's not the first time the remaining sets would all be shipped out. Pretty sure I read that before in the Sanctuary thread.

That's correct. It's only the third time or something.

Except this time they aren't all going to Korea?

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?

My package has finally shipped, and tracking has shown it departing CA

megaforce · « **Reply #64 on:** Thu, 02 May 2013, 14:33:00 »

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

Still waiting and still same stamps email from end of march, not suprising given if I'm in this 'last' batch to be sent if it does get sent it wont get to Australia for another month or so, maybe July if I'm lucky. Pretty good service for being one of the first in this gb lol

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

samwisekoi · « **Reply #72 on:** Sat, 04 May 2013, 09:42:54 »

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.

Possible to show the list and let everybody on this forum know how many are outstanding? Some transparency please.

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.

samwisekoi · « **Reply #87 on:** Thu, 09 May 2013, 08:23:55 »

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.

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.
