we’d like to extend our great thanks for the many extraordinary gifts we’ve been receiving—locally made chocolate, postcards from faraway places, music and video, home-made beer, discounts on hardware, various music software, bizarre surplus electronic parts… but most importantly thank you for the continual stream of encouragement and enthusiasm. your support and kindness has kept us moving in a positive direction.
we received a shipment of walnut enclosures this weekend and are assembling units to be shipped out to the patient 100 people who paid in the second batch of sixty four orders. unfortunately our first enclosure delivery was smaller than we expected, so many will go out next week when we receive the remainder of parts and finish assembling. it may take us up to three weeks to build, test and ship these units and we will do so according to order position in the queue. please don’t e-mail us asking your position. you’ll receive a UPS tracking number when your order ships.
thanks for your patience!
shipping update: kits
we’re still moving through kit orders and continue to send payment links. currently we’re waiting on a new delivery of keypads. we will email an invoice when your place in line comes up and we have kits ready to ship.
tomorrow we’re start sending out invoices to people who have placed an order request. it’ll take us some time to work through the request list, please be patient. we’ll be invoicing according to our current stock, which will replenish as we receive new shipments of keypads.
you’ll be able to choose your kit configuration and quantities when you receive your invoice.
we just finished shipping the first batch of the sixty four—on to the second batch. we’ll start shipping in about two weeks, it’ll take us up to four weeks to finish assembling and shipping. please do not contact us and ask when your unit will ship. if you’ve paid, you’ll get your device by the end of march at the latest.
40h kits start shipping soon. this means if you’re on the request list we’ll be sending you an invoice next friday, february 22. if your invoice goes unpaid for a few days we’ll pass your order to the next person in line. if you expect problems, contact us.
