Just spoke to vendor regarding some of the sub-par artisans some of you received.
Here is the full scope from vendor: "It was pretty difficult to QC and manage 1000+ orders this time around, however - this is not an excuse, we will be replacing all unsatisfied orders. We did not want to disappoint you all and will make this right."
Please reach out to our community support team through your transaction page if you have not done so. I've already gave them a heads up regarding this drop and they are aware. From there, our CS team will consolidate the entire replacement order and have our vendor work on/ship out the replacements accordingly. Apologies for the inconvenience, thank you all for supporting this drop.
For this of you that are wondering when this drop will be coming back, we're in the discussion with the vendor - furthermore - reassuring QC so this does not happen again.
