elimelendezThanks for the update, @elimelendez! I want to make sure I understand what you've just told us. Just for clarification:
1. For those who ordered the pens and just the pens, will those orders be shipped out sometime this week? If the pens were received at the end of business on Monday, June 15th, are we looking at a estimated ship date of this "first shipment" by, say, this Thursday or Friday?
2. For those who ordered the pens + converters, will these items will be combined and sent on to the purchaser once all of the pieces have arrived at your warehouse?
3. You say that the vendor should have the shipping *estimates* for you by the end of this week. I take this literally. Does this mean that the converters will be shipped, from the vendor to Massdrop, sometime next week? If so, does this mean that a reasonable "estimated" ship-date for this "second shipment" (orders of pens + converters) may be shipped from your warehouse sometimes during the week of June 29th with CONUS delivery reasonably expected sometime around July 2, 6-8?
Please take this post as honest and sincere questions - no snark, sarcasm or judgement intended. From what your saying the "pens only" orders will be shipped out within a week of the posted estimated ship date (an understandable delay).
When the converters were added to the drop (after many requests from the community), it was made clear to us that addition of the converters may delay shipment of the "pens & CON-50(s)" orders.
Some time ago, I posted that once a drop is complete, I mark the estimated ship date on my calendar and then forget about the order. I then "check-in" about 2 days before the estimated ship date to see how things are progressing. As my order contained some of the CON-50 add-ons, I'm trying to figure out a new, reasonable estimated date for shipment. While I truly appreciate the update of "the vendor estimates the shipment to go out to Massdrop by the [fill in the blank]", I don't want to have the false impression that the combined orders will be shipping from Massdrop later this week.
I'm not sure if this post makes sense, but I wanted to get this out to clarify the timeline for those of us who ordered both the pens and CON-50(s). FWIW, I get that this is a large order and that pens ordered with CON-50(s) may include anywhere from 1 - 4 of the additional converters. I understand this adds additional time when breaking down the bulk order into retail shipments.
If you need me to clarify what I'm asking, please post your question and I will. Otherwise ...
I hope this helps others with similar questions and I look forward to hearing back from @elimelendez or anyone else at Massdrop who has the answers. Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
