Tube connector arrival update....

Danny Richie · « **on:** 22 Jul 2020, 04:40 pm »

I was told these were already on the way as of yesterday, but I didn't get tracking information on the shipment until today.

They have shipped via DHL Express from India.

The last time they sent me samples via this same service it took 8 days. The Covid-19 deal may cause this to take as long as shown (too long). All the shipments are going through special screening sanitizing process. The Covid-19 problem has caused huge delays across the board and I have had no way to get around it. It has hurt our supply lines on a number of products almost all year.

We have over 100 orders in house on hold awaiting tube connectors so that they can ship complete.

If any of you want us to ship your orders out now and ship the tube connectors to you after you arrive just let us know. There is a $7.50 cost to mail them out separately (domestically) in a padded envelope.

Man that's a long wait..
I got mailed a package from Finland, & it took 2 months to arrive...
Hopefully that isn't the case.. but still that's a lot of ordders that have to wait to go out., But im sure people are understanding under the circumstances.

Danny -- we appreciate your honest communication regarding the tube connectors, especially with providing us the ability to track them.

I'm still enjoying my speakers will finish whenever they get here no problem.
Thanks Danny, like it or not some things we can't control.
No since in stressing

They are great for connecting outboard crossovers to speakers.

The 100 sets that were express mailed to me just arrived. So Monday we will be shipping out a lot of orders.

All of the rest of them will arrive via standard air freight and will be a week or two behind.

That's great news!

That should make for a lot of happy customers!

Danny Richie · « **Reply #11 on:** 29 Jul 2020, 02:07 am »

Those 100 sets that were express mailed in have all been sent out. They were sent out in the order that the orders were received.

We are now out of them again.

The rest of the orders will be filled when the rest of this production arrives. It will be another week or so.

Most of them were packed and ready to go. So we just needed to drop in the tube connectors, do some invoicing, and print out UPS labels.

There are another 40 to 50 more orders behind them still waiting on the rest of them to arrive.

Sorry for the delay guys.

Awww yis, time to follow along!

Delays are killing me.

Four days ago DHL handed these off to the US postal service to get them from Dallas to here (about a 2 hour trip).

They are suppose to be delivered today, but my local postal service has not seen them yet.

Yeah someone DMed me a couple days ago asking about their XLS kit, cuz i got mine long before they did, but they also ordered some tube connectors, when I didn't
So I figured there were delays with them arriving. Hopefully they'll figure it out and get it to ya soon!
