SHIPPING Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Ecto Goggles

[Rhett J Martin]

Still waiting for the laser cutter to be fixed…

We have the last ones going and wrapping up, so I’m hopeful for the weekend to produce a fixed cutter and then we can get the next batch of probably 7 out then we’ll only have 5 or 6 left to get out.

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Two more headed out, we’re now waiting for the cutter to be fixed. I’ve reached out to other custom cutters in the area, so we shall see what happens after the weekend attempts to get up and running.

More on the bench finishing up as well.

Think these will be out by Halloween?

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Yup. The laser guys have a new control board en route, and we should have this wrapped up in two weeks.

If they don’t have the problem solved next weekend, I’m shipping these all out as they finish and I’ll just eat the cost of shipping the bases at a later date.

I’m ready to wrap this up.

Mine was delivered today. Looks great - thanks Rhett! Honestly, I got a little worried for a bit, but these were definitely worth the wait. Thanks for doing a great job on them!

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Thanks so much! This made a good day a GREAT day

Just a small update, control board for laser cutter set to arrive this week from China, installed next weekend. If that doesn’t do the trick, we have an alternative supplier standing by.

So we should be competed by the end of September. Thanks and stay tuned.

Rhett, can you confirm my 2 replacement goggles that got damaged in July during shipping will be shipped by end Sept as well?

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Yes. This includes you.

Last update on the laser cutter:
Control board is stuck in customs land…
We’ve given all the chances we can, but I’m moving forward with the second supplier. We’ll be cutting bases and lenses throughout next week and have them shipped out, and start assembling and packing up everyone once they arrive.

This has been my first real-world subcontracting experience( the headstraps, laser cut parts, decals, etc). As I’m graduating to larger projects next year, it’s an experience I’m required to have…
It has been very eye opening… gotta say, I’m not a fan of handing stuff off and hoping it’s right… but alas… such is a growing business and hobby life.

So stay tuned for more constant updates as we begin to ship out this last batch. Thanks all.

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Time to wrap this up. These are on their way with the lenses. I’ll be packing up everyone left as I build the bases, bag up the matchbooks, and finish and recheck each set of goggles.

Thanks so much for hanging in everyone. Happy Halloween!

Rhett, are my 2 replacement googles finished and when will you ship?

 

[Rhett J Martin]

All orders of any variety in this thread and on Etsy will be compared and shipped on or before October 15th.

That’s what the word ‘everyone’ means.

Thanks all. Looking forward to putting this run behind me and enjoying the rest of the year off.

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Just a small update, I am on track to get these out to everyone on the 15th. Everything is here, and there is no more ‘we’. It’s all on me y’all!

Bases are getting assembled, matchbooks are bagged, and I’m just getting everything detailed and assembled so they all look GREAT!

Thanks as always, and can’t wait to start throwing up photos and videos

 

[ForbiddenOnion]

Is there ANY realistic chance of having these in hand by 10/24?

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Yup

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Shipping labels are getting printed up, giggles getting boxed! A few people wanted them for Halloween, the rest of ya I haven’t heard a peep out of (cause you’re awesome) so we’ll be shipping these out just about everyday this week and next. Want to make sure everything looks great and near perfect!

I also got super lucky with our second vendor cutting the acrylic, he made some small changes to the design, and thickened the plastic a bit so they’re stronger and look just a touch better

Happy Halloween everyone! Can’t wait to wrap this up!! Look to update on the first post as these go out.

 

[markpoon]

Rhett, please check your inbox and let me know when you will ship my 2 replacement googles?

 

[Rhett J Martin]

I’m happy to post that we are down to the last 10 pairs of goggles, and will be wrapping this up as fast as possible!

We’ve also had an incident of one of you using threats and ultimatums via PM to extort $$ and I’ll be altering mods etc, though I don’t expect any results that I can’t produce on my own. I just shake my head at 2005 level social media:forum tactics… ugh.

Very happy to be bringing this long over due run to a close.

Happy Halloween everyone, I’ll be available for any additional questions, etc. But pretty much your only responsibility is to enjoy your holiday and await a tracking number. Thanks!

Rhett, as per your PM on 27 Oct, 9.06pm, you will be refunding me in full ($615) for the 2 damaged goggles I received and shipped back to you in July.
