Update:
I’ve started shipping! I apologize for the delays, but we’re finally getting there. IF YOU HAVE A CHANGE OF ADDRESS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW NOW BEFORE I MAIL SOMETHING TO THE WRONG PLACE. I’m reaching out to people with bad addresses so if you’ve gotten an email from me regarding your address, please answer so I can ship to you. I’m currently shipping orders (in chronological order) with just the tool, as I’m still waiting on both jigs, BOX jig expected to be done in the next couple days, Nexus a week behind that. I won’t be able to ship again until Sat. but I’m planning to spend most of the day shipping orders with just the tools. The way that the jigs click around the BOX switch housing and stem is addictive, and I find it super helpful to have a jig for Nexus sliders and a bit overkill for BOX stems…
I struggled with the shipping and stupid order fulfillment process for hours before getting it working, but we’re set to keep shipping orders with the tool (just in plastic baggies in a bubble mailer for now). If you’re in the 1.5doz. or so order with just the tool, you should have gotten your tracking info earlier today. I dropped the packages off at the post office over lunch so they’re really on their way!
I’ve been fighting with both my bank and Paypal to get to any of the money, it still isn’t resolved, but I’ve been paying the manufacturer and shipping costs just to get going. If you’ve tried to check out using Paypal you’ve probably discovered you can’t, but I’ll try to get it back (despite really wanting to boycott them).
I’m writing this as a new post for visibility but I’ll try to link it in the other threads. I’m planning on adding an album of the tool and jig, but I’ll be around in the comments to answer any questions that come up. I’m trying to ship in the order that people pro-ordered so I probably can’t bump you up without a compelling reason, but I will be trying to get to everyone as soon as I can.
