Hey, just wondering if i should order from gon. Everything i need doesn't acquire assembly and isn't available anywhere else.

Everything from GON is great quality. The only problems are that he seems to be backed up for a while (people getting their orders months late). I'm not sure if that's still the case though

I ordered feet from him not too long ago, shipped in 10 days. But that is just feet, not a full board

Yeah, thats the only worry I have is the shipping. I just need Feet, PCB, diodes, and a spacebar wire. Ive heard that only the assembly required orders are gettign backed up.

If you only need parts he gets it out pretty fast.

Maybe try to contact him first via his Skype contact?

I talked to Gon this morning, said a full board will take "Several Months."

What about if we want to buy a pcb and use his electric part service do I need to wait for months also?

He often stocks PCBs that are already pre-smd soldered. You can ask him if he has stock.

It's approx. 1 month, from late January to mid to late February. When they close and re-open depends on the vendor. Some open and close sooner / later than others.

when i spoke to him he said something about shipping being delayed during that period in time. so i just took it at face value. just figured i'd relay my experience with shipping around this time of year.
