Re: Shipping Updates

Heading to Korea tomorrow for two weeks to help finish some robotic x-ray hardware. I will be reachable via email, and my roommate (Allen, the guy in the Kickstarter video) is going to help ship some things in the meantime.

Right now, the oldest order is a little over 4 weeks old. I've left 5 kits ready for Allen to throw labels on them, but that's gonna be it for two weeks. That means that some kits will hit 6 weeks since the order date. If this is too long, of course I am happy to refund.

I've kitted dozens of E3D hotends, so those should be good to go as usual.

Once I return (Feb 1), it's all Filastruder, all the time.

Re: Shipping Updates

Indeed. Really only the kits go on hold, as they're a bit more complicated.

Re: Shipping Updates

Do the kits also mean the Filawinder kits?

I'm so excited at how well my Filastruder is working, can't wait for my Filawinder smile

Re: Shipping Updates

Kits = filastruder kits only

Everything else is shipping normally - winders, enclosures, nozzles, hotends, etc.

Nice Bots. Are you eventually going to put them on parallel tracks opposite each other for linear travel or put the subject on a 360 deg rotating table?  Keep posting picks Ive never been to Korea!

That is when it left the US. it sometimes takes up to a month to update, not to worry.

Re: Shipping Updates

I was wondering if we receive an email when our Filastruder has been shipped? I think I should be one of those orders shipped out right before you left as it was ordered early/mid December. just curious.

Re: Shipping Updates

Yes, emails automatically go out when labels are printed. It will have to wait until the first week of February. Sorry!

Re: Shipping Updates

In the Incheon airport right now. Excited to get back home and start shipping those kits out!

All other (non-Filastruder Kit)  orders are still shipping as normal.

Did you bother to read the website? (or even this thread?) All recently placed kit orders have a 3-4 week lead time. Your order was placed yesterday.

Yup. Should be able to get 20 units out on Monday, which will make the oldest outstanding order be within its originally estimated lead time.

Re: Shipping Updates

Not there yet. I'm like 4 days behind the estimated lead time...getting caught up, doing 10/day so far. There's about 40 kits ahead of you, which puts yours shipping sometime next week - right on schedule. smile
