When Will Mastertechs Start Shipping Preorders

[kdouglas]

Can Someone Help Us All Out And Tell Us When The Preordered Gun Will Be Shipping Out. I Feel That If We Put That Much Money Down We Should Get Some Info.

Same here. Fix my angel hasn't returned my e-mail from last Thursday morning. I asked them if they were shipping out on Thursday like the guy I ordered from over the phone a week before said they would. Guess they were wrong.

[IR3-ANGEL]

All the MT's have been at NPPL HB this whole weekend. From friday till today(sunday). So they probably havent seen ur email yet.

[kevc2181]

not really upset they haven't e-mailed me back... just that they told me it would ship out thursday. they could have told me that they weren't sure of the date, which would have been true.

[kdouglas]

yes it sucks but i am not mad or blaiming anybody i just want to know the day or about the day they would be on my front door step

[PakmanRevd]

About 50% of the stuff that was supposed to debut at HB was held up at customs..

So I'm guessing a lot of the G7's are there too. Owen told me at HB if I ordered one there it would take 4-5 days to get to me.. Hope that helps

[kdouglas]

well i am number 2 on impacts preorder list so i mean that just seems like i should be aware of something

[kdouglas]

i called wdp and they told me that stores should be getting them in the next two weeks so i figure since mastertechs are first it could be this week when they start shipping preorders or atleast that is what i hope

[El Pirata]

Ken told me last week there had been a shipment issue and they would not start sending them out until today. It's quite likely that all of the MT's were in the same boat.

[Ted Lesiak]

Ken said today it would be a couple more days and I trust what he is saying. I think it was a shipping thing where everything is screwed up now cause of 911. I have a gloss red one coming and once its in I'll get the call so no biggie.

I do apologize for the delay in my response. Once our shipment has been received we will ship within 24 hours. As I related, our expected date to receive the shipment was on or about the 17th and would ship within a business day of their arrival. If you would like, just give me a call and I will issue a full refund. As for the customers who pre-ordered, G7 still comes with my lifetime warranty and I will be waiving the shipping fees and issuing a refund on those fee's.

Wow, that's kick ass service! :bigok:
Too bad I didn't pre-order one...

[kdouglas]

WDP has not even shipped the guns from England yet. They told us they would be in our hands this week. This is the kind of stuff I am talking about. They pull this all the time. I expect them middle/end of next week.

this is what i got today in an e-mail so..........

Patience is a virtue...so the saying goes! You should know better that when "pre-ordering" a product, especially one manufactured outside of the USA, that shipping and delivery dates can slide.

You will get your purchased product, and if you can't wait, then cancel the order and seek a refund...simple as that. If you "just can't wait for your new toy" because you can't control your desire, don't blame anyone else, that is a personal problem. If you sold off your previous gear so you could purchase the G-unit, and now you can't play because it isn't here yet, that's just bad planning, but a "life lesson learned"...

Bemoaning the fact does not get it in your hands any faster. It basically becomes whining....

[kevc2181]

I totally agree with that (post by rix123). I'm just not happy with them advertising a date sooner than they could be sure of. Good marketing strategy. Just upsets lots of people when it doesn't arrive when they say it will.

You must be a relatively new Angel owner then or at least a first time preorder.

Here's a timeline:

IR3- Announced 2/2/02, big release party. The marker was used @ MGO. I preordered on 2/3, was told by the 20s of February. Marker received: 3/9/02.

Speed - Announced 3/03, I actually preordered this marker (sight unseen) from Mo's Paintball 2-days before it was released. Saved $50 on it too! I got my marker 3-weeks after it was expected delivery.

A4 - Went with a Force, 2nd run.

A4 Fly - Picked it up at the tech class, tried to order one at HB for an earlier pick-up but I couldn't get my hands on one until almost 3-weeks after the release date.

Speed - Didn't preorder.

G7 - We're now day 6 after "estimated release" and no one has their markers. It could be any day now or it could be another 2-3 weeks by my understanding of their past timelines.

You'd think my now, WDP would have found a way to pay off customs with the amount of importing they do to us! :patriot:

DO NOT TAKE THIS OFFENSIVELY!! THIS IS JUST SOMETHING I HEARD!!

well, i heard that robert moon bought all the g7's from HB so that people would have to either wait to buy them, or go to his store to buy them.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING I HEARD, PLEASE DONT FLAME ME!

[BoB]

Snooze you lose. Thats what happens when you have $750,000 burning a hole in your pocket. BTW Ken, you still owe me for that soda I bought you.

[-Z-]

lol

[kevc2181]

Does anyone know the E.T.A. yet?

[MM77X]

I spoke to a MT this afternoon,and he has a tracking # for his shipment coming from Nebraska.He is expected to recieve them on Thursday.This is a small number of guns,something like 8-10 per MT.There is also a larger shipment coming that is about 1 week behind this shipment.I would bet that somebody will have theirs by the weekend.
