I'm waiting for two, but I'm off on hols today. It's all cool though, hopefully I'll have a nice package waiting for me when I get back

Pushed back another day by FedEx, although they say they have risen the issue to a higher level.

This is the last time I will use their service

EDIT: I have been re-assured again the package will arrive tomorrow. I will check at 8:30am tomorrow to ensure they have it marked for delivery.

Not a big deal (at least on my end). Thanks for keeping the thread updated!

UKKeycaps · 15 Jul 2016, 12:23

Delivered! First batch of rests will be shipped tomorrow midday

Got mine in the post today, and I love it!

My one arrived this morning, they're fantastic.

Thanks!

Mine arrived today but there's a crack in the side of it... sigh...

Wow, considering how these were packed, your postal service must really have put in a good effort to crack it.

I'll reply to the email you send me ASAP!

I don't think it was the postal service at all. Like you said, it was well-packed. It looks like some sort of factory defect to me since the rest of the rest (ha!) isn't displaced at all, it's not like it was banged and has come apart. I can't be sure, though.

I sent you the mail at 4:19 UK time today. Obviously there's no rush right now since it's late.

Wood is finicky - maybe it went through moisture (humid air), heat (hot air) and a long, bumpy travel and, in these conditions, slowly decided to crack.

scottc · 21 Jul 2016, 22:57

Yeah, you are probably right. I haven't got a clue about this stuff so I will defer to your judgement!

Laser · 21 Jul 2016, 23:22

I'm not an expert by any means.

"Fun" stuff to read about wood: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1999 ... e-moisture

Ouch, I had no idea. I couldn't read the whole article (it was just too riveting), but thanks for linking it -- I had no idea it could be such an issue. I'm going to try to repair this little guy with a healthy dose of wood glue.

Is there any tracking on these? I know that I'm overseas in the US, but I've heard nothing on my shipment at all, and I'm getting a bit concerned.

UKKeycaps · 05 Aug 2016, 01:40

Email me via the contact page and I'll get back to you ASAP!

chuckdee · 05 Aug 2016, 03:50

Already done. Thanks!

Mine was well packed too, but is damaged anyway... it is scratched and it's kinda annoying, since it is where my wrist lays and it is also eye-catching.

I guess someone with experience in wood could just take a oily cloth and make it "vanish" (altough it is noticeably deep, so you would feel it), but I don't now why this should be my job as a customer. Also chances are it get's darker where it shouldn't when I start messing around with it.
