    That's what I meant. Should have been more specific.

    I didn't go back through the whole thread. I take it, that it didn't show up complete?

    It showed up missing the power and ground leads which isn't a big deal. I have the stuff in the shop to make my own. My biggest problem with the whole process was that he was super helpful and friendly when he was on the phone taking my money and assuring me a two week delivery date. After I paid, he was completely unreachable and when he did get back to me it was a generic "I'm shipping some orders out in the AM". I just assumed one of those was mine but it wasn't. Ended up taking 6 weeks to get my box. Granted it's a very nice box so once I saw it I didn't really mind the 6 week wait. But apparently there's people that ordered 2-3 months before me that still haven't received their orders. And there was no communication when he did ship my order. I got a text that said "going out in the morning" but he never confirmed that it actually did ship that time. No tracking number, no text to let me know he had dropped it off at the carrier. Nothing. It just showed up on my doorstep one day.

    I had something similar with tracking. I saw that the process was started and then BAM. Box. :confused:

    Yeah, communication is important. You have to keep people up to date so they don't start a lynch mob. Hell, my 10 person group buy for the skids was hard enough. It seems like he had a lot of orders, and keeping track of who gets what is daunting.

    I wish him luck with getting all of this sorted out.

    Just have to get some exposure for my panel first.

    Were shipping boxes an issue? Mine will ship out in a medium flat rate box.

    Yes

    I'll be here when you're ready.
