PCB delivery

I notice the BPA round 2 group buy wiki remains unchanged.

The list still stands at 20 registrations of interest and 18 payments received. (90 percent paid)

However, it appears that only two have been shipped (10%) and one (5%) has been received. And people are still being asked to make payment but no deliveries are being reported.

If anyone has received their boards kindly post.

I'm still waiting for the first round...since october last year.
This is getting awfully close to a scam.

I know this is a complete pain, but i cant accept payment for boards in pounds. This is simply becuase the pcb company only takes USD. It would be a lot easier for you to pay by USD.

Just for reference, a full board set is costing about £28. ( 4 boards ). These boards are 4oz copper and bloody heavy!

Never heard about Paypal which even can handle swedish krona?

PCB Shipping

Hi everyone, ALL the remaning kits and boards are ready to go out tomrrow for certain, if i have not allready updated you about shipping via email. All european orders should arrive into next week, all world orders should arrive just into the following week.

The wiki has not been updated about shipping, i will add the updates once i can access the spreadsheet at home later this evening.

 

[peranders]

It may be a good idea to write down dates in the wiki so people know when to expect things. Posts here are example of bad communication which should be a problem when you have the excellent wiki page. For instance, have you send cobra's goods or simply forgot?

 

[nuryev]

Your words Rhysh??

"2 kits and about 20 boards were posted yesterday."

this message is posted on 16/4/09.

How come so many boards have still to be posted??

 

[rhysh]

I do not entirley understand the question you are asking me.

 

[nuryev]

Previous question

If 20 boards were already mailed out (according your post) - who were they shipped to?

The wiki reports a total of 2X4 boards being shipped as recently as 8/05.

And the rest 6 and 10 - 16 shipped at a date not listed.

The question was who received the 20 boards mentioned in your post?

 

[rhysh]

The wiki only contains a portion of members who have ordered boards, a lot of people just came to me directly.

Im packaging up the rest of the boards now, i will update the wiki shortly.

I did order my boards on Januar 25'th form youre website, but i have not received the boards yet

 

[exurbia]

hey nuryev,
have you got your boards yet ? mine are still in espace or limbo. funny old world this one.

 

[valo]

rhysh you got mail

 

[peranders]

All these items willl be permanently in stock. A previous weakness of S11Audio has been shipping times, due to transportation to the local post office

Is this really a group buy? Isn't the idea to collect orders and money first then order pcb's?

Curious, how far is it to the post office?

What do you mean? I allways order lots of space PCB's to save reordering more when people want them. As a matter of fact, its not the BPA300 pcb's that will be in stock, the passage needs editing.

 

[peranders]

Seems a bit risky to order lots of boards in a non-profit deal

An attempt to help out, which has backfired.

 

[Cobra2]

If the real price is higher than the initial price, please say so, and I/we can add a few $/€/£...
It is not the meaning that you shall go broke.
Just keep us informed...

The idea behind a group buy is _not_ to order more than you have in order AND have got money for. What is that has backfired really?

If you let people know as soon as things happens they can put up with it but just keep quiet annoys people more. Why hasn't Arne got he stuff? Do you have the boards? Why not delivered?

When I have been in charge of a group buy I have always let people know if there have been some changes in the group buy process. Every date is stated, both expect and real ones.
