thanks, thats great, if you can know beforehand i'd rather you not have to cover, even though its not much i'd rather not set a precedent. if you cant just say the word when you know
thanks for the efforts so far and not a worry about keeping an eye on it. its more a matter of principle at this stage.
you know its really surprising this lack of contact by BF dont you think? 😉

Hi Dontdiewondering... If you could pick up my stuff too it would be greatly appreciated! If it's too late, that's fine.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Chiming in to thank ddw for the effort he's putting into this. It's grown into a big task, if there's anything we can do to help you with distribution please let us know!
Hello Dontdiewondering. I also thank you for stepping in to get this thing going. Like some else said, I had stopped checking too regularly on this trainwreck. I would really appreciate it if you could pick up my order as well, if that is still possible. If you need anything else or any other information from me, just let me know!
Thank you very much for rolling up your sleeves and working on this.

Hi Dontdiewondering (a fitting name considering the situation)
I hope it's not to late for the pickup Deadline.
I'm on holidays in Hong Kong until end of January, so my routine is all over the place and usually not always near a computer. it's Tuesday 11:15pm here at the moment so probably after midnight back home in Australia.
Considering BlueFusion's lack of response to both queries and offers to help and including his incredible work load, its all made me feel anxious about what is happening so I'm left with no alternative - Count me in (if its not to late) I'm owing two complete kits including two extra batteries (all paid for directly into his account) minus metal panels , wallwarts and what ever else is not yet ready.
Thanks in advance for stepping in to rescue a rapidly deteriorating situation that's become messy for all involved, we all owe you one.
BlueFusion if its any consolation the metal panels do look good, and thanks for your input so far and Dontdiewondering's help should be welcomed.
I'm sure you're intentions were good but you wouldn't have forseen the workload taken on, its not a task that I would take on, I know I don't have the time.
DDW I will PM my brothers mailing address in Melbourne and any other necessary details, this will make it easier than posting to Hong Kong but I'm in no hurry whilst I'm overseas.
Cheers mate.

Getting things sooner rather than later
Hi Dontdiewondering (a fitting name given the circumstances)
Count me in on the pickup (I hope its not to late for me)
Unfortunately for me I'm on holidays in Hong Kong so my routine is all over the place and not always near a computer, over here its a very late Tuesday night but after midnight in Australia, I will pm you my brothers mailing address in Melbourne to make things easier and any other necessary details once you've got the parts; as I'm here until the end of January (my intention was to bring an o2 with me but we all know how that's turned out).
I wish it didn't have to be this way, but considering BlueFusion's lack of response to both queries and offers to help and his incredible workload, its all added to my anxious feelings each time I've checked this thread for an update.
I'm owed two complete kits plus two extra batteries already paid for - Directly into BlueFusions Account (these 2 extra batteries were not updated into the spreadsheet). I'm happy for BlueFusion to post the the metal panels, wallwarts and other parts not yet ready at a later date. (the addressed envelopes is a good idea from ddw).
BlueFusion if its any consolation the panels do look good and I think DDW's help will be welcomed, thanks for your input so far we all understand its a huge task and one I certainly wouldn't take on, I know I don't have the time; so no hard feelings.
DDW thanks for stepping in to rescue a deteriorating situation we all owe you.
Cheers
Manzanita Cross
PS sorry for the double posting but i thought the first one didnt work.

Thanks again dontdiewondering...
If BF have not bought the wallwart, I hope you can take the money, maybe you can use it for express shipping or helping cover some of your cost. Or may also be exchanged with the battery (7 pieces ???) or another O2 kit + enclosure (if the money not enough, I am willing to add to you).

well, like Manzanita Cross, if it's not too late I'll take up dontdiewondering's offer too. I'm in NZ but can supply an Aus address if needs be.

i doubt there are that many pieces of battery left neob, pretty sure most extras were accounted for, there might be a couple; but of course what do we know.....
A text from BF at 2 this morning:
Hiya don't know if you're still up, was going to talk online but you prob asleep by now. Anyway. Tomorrow (Tues) I don't have much to do so i'll be putting in hopefully a full day's work on the kits. I appreciate your help but it's less helpful than you might think- in order to give you only the components for some kits and not all I essentially have to go thru and part up those kits anyway- in which case I might as well just finish the job and ship them.
Anyway. I propose that we re- assess the situation on Tuesday night, and if all goes well, on Wednesday too. My goal here is for you to not be required, however if it isn't ready by Tues/ Wed then I could perhaps transfer you all the components. Let me know what you think- email is probably better.
My reply:
Sounds like a plan, please post all of that to the forum, I will cover the cost of the envelopes for the front panel as I posted and also organise extra post packs for those waiting for plug packs. Cheers
His reply:
Really? Awesome. I also need to call RS again as they haven't gotten back to me yet. Thanks for reminding me
My reply:
If you could do what you can to put the kits together I'll pick up the remainder and sort them out.
So it looks like we should have a working amp by christmas!

hmmm, yeah because putting things in 2 lots is so much like putting them in what 60-70 individual lots?......
Thanks for keeping us informed DDW. I hope your phone was on silent overnight!!
The last minute notice of 'oh, don't come over yet, please' doesn't fill one with confidence.
He's known since 8th this proposal was on the cards. Nothing has changed since then, except that Tuesday has now arrived.
I do not expect that dontdiewondering should have to suffer many last minute change of plans/rescheduling to suit bluefusion.
DDW,
I had at first ignored your offer, as I was wanting to basically keep things as simple as possible, but have now decided to jump onto your bandwagon.
my goods should account to:
2 PCBs, 2 parts kits, 1 Enclosure/FP, 2 batteries, 8x extra NJM4556
If I've somehow missed something among the chaos, let me know...

I just go another text from BF, to paraphrase:
1. Plug packs from RS are discontinued.
2. Single orders are packed and only need to be addressed ("print postage").
3. Double orders should be packed tonight.
I have replied and told him to post all the news here and ask if people want plug packs because I think most people will organise their own and ask for their money back so this saga can end on a somewhat high note.
My offer to cover postage for envelopes for the front panel still stands and I will send them to BF once he gives me his address.
I have also asked him to post what he still has left outstanding/unaccounted for so if anyone wants to buy something else and get it thrown in with their original order they can.
Hopefully those of us in capital cities should have an express post bag on Thursday. If it is not going to go in the post tomorrow I will go and pick the whole lot up and do it myself so this thing can end!

Call me sceptic, but before the orders are in the mail I will hold my hopes in check...
Thanks for moving this forward DDW, at least we can now feel like we have a man in Adeleide 😛

Hopefully, BF can get things sorted so that "You -WILL- have these before xmas!"

Additionally, does anybody else think that BF should give up on the plug packs and refund the cost. The plug packs are are back ordered at RS (until who knows when), they are the UK plug ones, they will need a UK to Aus adapter, and will require an additional postage charge.
Just putting it out there.
edit - ddw - killing off teh plug packs and BF refunding the cost sounds like the best option at this stage.
