EDIT:  And this is why Fluffy could rape my mother and I would still like the guy...

Ah - did we forget to mention our pre-emptive shipping service during checkout? It uses a tiny gypsy woman with a bit of a beard, locked in a small caravan with a crystal ball, telling us who will order in a few years time. We're shipping 2017 orders now because the South African postal service is so bad that it might actually arrive by then:-P

EL OH EFFING EL

Just saw the edit now...just to be sure, Dorothy Mantooth is a saint and I would never do that:-P

and why the hell are some later orders shipped before my order?

For the shipping method you selected we're still within the published transit time on the delivery and returns policy you agreed to during checkout.

To answer your second question, we hand them to customs in the order we receive them, but customs splits them out based on where they're going (EMS parcels depart from JIMC, surface mail from Cape Town harbour via Capemail, and Aramex parcels are collected from customs after an OBC). Even after that they process it in no particular order - sometimes if there isn't a vessel available they'll keep parcels bound for that destination there before finalising the documentation and releasing them, which means surface mail parcels have it worst of everyone.

yes but no one has told me that my order will need nearly two months for producing and shipping!

100% - it shouldn't have taken that long. We gave it to customs on 2013/12/23, which was in line with our expected timelines, and they really should have gotten it out sooner. It's one of the reasons we're taking surface mail away as a shipping option; they process EMS parcels faster (possibly only when it gets up to JIMC? I have no idea), but the surface mail parcels they let hang around till they feel like doing something about it. I know that it doesn't help in retrospect, but we are trying to improve and get better:)

I am again waiting on something which is not happening either

You claimed to send me the postage return on paypal

This far i see nothing paid to my paypal from you and ofcourse still no package.

I'm away from my desk at the moment - but I'll take a looksie when I'm back, I could've sworn I did the partial refund earlier this week. Sorry about that!

Also - just checked the tracking on my phone, looks like it hit the Netherlands at 10:45am today, so I assume you'll receive it within the next couple of days:) You can contact PostNL to see if there is a customs process or if it'll just go straight through (it should go straight through).

[bronan]

Well if thats the case i can not see it (yet)
Every package from and to me should become visible in the online postnl program
This far i can not see anything yet.
But if it arrives i still think such a insane long wait is not very good
I do understand that you had startup problems, when i ordered but november till march is way overdue.
The fact that i kept my calm for so many months does not mean i am/was not concerned.

Absolutely - that's the main reason we're removing surface mail, so that future orders don't experience the 8 weeks of transit you have:)

Please watch this important announcement for those
that are experiencing shipping or customs issues

Just received my three rig frames ordered on Dec 9th, 2013.  Thank you so fucking much fluffy.

If anyone in the Toronto area wants them, I'm selling them for $120 for all three of them.

They are Vitalia model, 6 GPU model, with "Full Thumbscrew Set" add on.  They come unassembled.

I paid over $300 for this shit.

PM if you are interested.

Awesome - transit time of 9.14 weeks, which is within bounds and is what we've come to expect for surface mail to North America:)

How is it they can get a damn boat to Canada quicker than the US. sigh...
