I asked via pm to be put on the list for one of the new design and one of the old if you got more. I don't see my name on the list kept on the first post. Just making sure.

I'm just wondering what is going on. On August 11 the molds were on a US dock but were turned back due to a paperwork problem. Then on August 27 you got an email from UPS International that an air shipment was inbound. Then on August 29 the shipper lady tells you that she will get the molds on a plane in the next couple of days. Since then we have had no word. They should have been here by now if they had been placed on a slow boat from China. What gives?

[rancher1913]

what gives is called murphy's law, he has not charged anybody yet and he has a full time job, this is just a side gig to help cast boolit members so constant updates may not happen, have patience grasshopper

[jeepvet]

I understand. I'm just hoping Lakehouse didn't get scammed. I think I am starting to smell a rat. Been there, done that.

[Lakehouse2012]

Yeah, there have been some delays but im confident that im not being scammed. Ive been in daily contact with the manager and the shipment left hong kong last Saturday. While im not pleased with all the mistakes made, these molds will arrive soon.

To make things more difficult..... im in the middle of packing up the house and moving next week, so the molds will come to me here, or they will be freight forwarded.

Lets see where we are at next week, i think (hope) very close to distribution.

It's nothing against you, Lakehouse....but it's getting to a point where, I'll believe it when I see it. I'll be the first to admit I'm a glass half empty guy...so I'm also hoping it isn't a scam against you. Keep us posted.

Faith my friends, and im not the holy-roller type but faith in humanity.

Common sense in me says there is no way the company would complete the first shipment then show me pics of the finished dies for the new molds, and not come through.

If i had to guess, its the Trump sanctions that have just locked up the import docks and the Chinese government have tried to slow the trade machine down from their side.

These molds ARE in route.

No sweat they'll get here.

I am likely late to the party.

If anyone backs out or there are extras I would take three. Absolutely no hurry.

Just let me know when to pay and where to send funds.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

One of you prompted me today, to give an update.

I got feedback last night from the manager of the dept. They had shipped the molds to me 6+ weeks ago, the boxes had made it to customs (not sure if at the host country or US) and was put on hold (seized)... Apparently they destroyed a portion of the order and then shipped the rest back to the die-caster. He is extremely sorry for all the difficulty this has caused and is having the entire order re-made and will be shipping it out to me again (3rd time) within a week. It's a series of unfortunate events, BUT I'm confident they they will arrive within a month at my doorstep.

Keep your fingers crossed and your wallets ready, these will ship in time to give as Christmas presents...

Thanks,

LH

[Minerat]

Lol, probably destroyed into the black market or scrap yard from customs. Oh the cynic in me just escaped, sorry bout that. In five years no one will care how long it took, they will only wish they has some.

[45workhorse]

You got that right Minerat! (Post 119)
Waiting patiently!
