We have stated very clearly from the beginning that this was a pre-order sale for a brand new part that has to go through many stages of manufacturing, hence why we quoted 4-6 weeks when we launched the pre-order sale. By my watch, we will be at 6 weeks next Wed, and by the looks of things and where the parts are at in the production process, it should be right around that date that we should get the parts back in our hands. They are currently at the laser etching phase of the process.
It's important to remember that with a pre-order, things do take time. There is machining five individual pieces of aluminum, then sending them out for hard anodizing, then having them go to another facility for laser etching. No one wishes more than us, that we could just magically pump these out, unfortunately that isn't reality. There is time involved, which is why we offered a substantial discount from retail with our introductory pricing, and I believe most everyone understands that.
If you would like for us to refund your money, we will do so. However, there is no reason for hostility. referring to our director of sales as "bro" typically doesn't sit well with many people. I'm sorry you feel suckered by this whole experience and I will be 100% honest with you. You are funding my R&D budget, but so is everyone else who buys any product from me. I run my business based off the profits generated from goods that we produce. All the money goes into one bank account to operate the business. And please don't take offense to the last comment, I'm not trying to be a wise ass in anyway. I don't like any SVC customer to have a bad taste in their mount, and we will always move heaven and earth to find a solution to fix the problem. So, if you still feel upset about the transaction, please contact us directly so we can find an amicable solution that meets your expectation.
