DIY Sony VFET lottery discussion

Note about chassis shipping: Hifi2000 goes on summer holidays this Friday, and needs time to ship and deal with any shipping problems, so anyone in this list has 24 hours to complete their purchase if they want to get their chassis before September. If you don't make it in time that's no problem from our side, but just means you'll have to wait a month for your chassis to ship.

Jason,
I responded to the email about 12 hours ago but haven't received the invoice yet. Since you mentioned that to avoid the wait, we need to complete the purchase today, I'm wondering if there is some email problem receiving my response. Should I have received the invoice by now?

P.S. Thanks to Nelson, Jason, Mark, Jim and especially those that generously gave up their kits.

Just as I posted this, I received the invoice. Thanks. It appears that emails sent from my diyaudio account email are not getting to the store but those from my gmail address are.

Hi all.
Still waiting patiently for details to be sorted,fingers crossed it will be soon.
Anyone finished their build as yet?

Hi Yb100, we've sent and resent your invoice to your store account registered email address. The helpdesk has not received any replies so far. Kindly contact the store helpdesk directly via contact@diyaudiostore.com so we can sort this out. Thanks.
 
We have just finished shipping the last VFET chassis from the last person who has purchased it this morning. All the orders received from now on will be shipped after our reopening on 23/8.

I would have guessed that it was me... last night (here in Austria, UTC/GMT +2). Thanks for the quick response, and the ultra quick shipping. Right before your holiday - highly appreciated. I did come late to this "show" because I was lucky to get one vfet kit of the "leftovers".

A new DIY Sony VFET (Part2) Builders thread might be useful. 🙂

At present there are a lot of posts under 'part 1' which only apply to the second round build.

My packages are due next week, so I have nothing to kick-start it with.

Trying to be patient here but the box of components on my bench is calling to me...

Anyone else have their chassis currently waiting on shipment at Charles De Gaulle? Tracking indicates that there is an "operational delay" and the Fedex rep I spoke to was less than helpful.

My chassis also shows the same FEDEX "operational delay" at Charles De Gaulle. Going on 4 days there now. This happened once before on a chassis order and it took a full three weeks from shipping to arrival. Customs issue was the stated problem.

UPS says parts arriving today.

The operational delays at Charles de Gaulle are par for the course in today's shipping. They are awaiting enough units to share an air transport to the destination nation.

Hopefully they get to do a little sight seeing around Paris before being shut back into an air cargo hold. 😉
