Got a tracking number too...... from China mail? This is going to be very interesting when or should I say if these items turn up still for me worth the punt in the dark. Whoever gets it first please post up even if it's a bag of :shit:.

:edit: just checked to see the size of the heating plates etc, now to coming up "currently unavailable" good job we all got on board sooner rather than later ;)

Mine has shipped too! (really hopeful ... would never pay $530 CAD for this, but for <$25, can't go wrong :))

Just so you know @duckTape that one on the vid is a pneumatic version, the one we've all got coming is a manuel version thankfully, really don't fancy the air pressure addition I'm more of a elbow grease and brut force type of guy :).

Oh, yeah I saw it now when I checked the e-mail from amazon. I also prefer the manual version :tup:

Bought it last night, but hasn't shipped yet. So we will see if I end up past the cutoff and getting an email oops instead.

Curious to see how this turns out. I almost bought one on a Visa giftcard yesterday, but hesitated. Best of luck to those who pulled the trigger.

Manual version video. I wonder how much pressure it will generate?

No squish demo leaves us still in the dark about this one. My guess is that pressure is unlikely to be adequate. However, time will tell! If this works safely, even for small presses, at the price this is gonna be a game changer!

They are losing money if they're selling a machine of that size and complexity for 25 bucks. Even a harbor freight arbor press is twice the price. Shipping weight says 14kg so they've priced it what, barely above scrap metal?

Hate to be a downer here but I don't believe you guys will be getting the press in the video.

Sorry to down this but i read this on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/rosin/comments/60sfh6/beginner_who_stumbled_upon_a_press/dfb5yrl/

which says:
"
I'm an Amazon seller and I GUARANTEE. I REPEAT. I GUARANTEE THAT NO ONE WILL RECEIVE THIS ITEM.

I'll explain.

Amazon pays its sellers every 2 weeks. So what Chinese scammers do now is upload 200,000 listings, all at extremely low prices. They "ship" the product out and say it will take 6 weeks to arrive. They collect all the money they can before people realize nothing was ever shipped.

The account gets closed, but they have been paid at least twice. ( every 2 weeks ). So any money they received is pure profit since they don't ship anything."

Please FC stop throwing money at chinese scammers. The whole world is searching for rosin press so they exploit it.

It's clear from this thread that many are curious about making rosin but anxious about spending hundreds on a press. The rosin thread is both long and long-in-the-tooth. Might be an opportunity to recommend a quick and cheap entry-level-method.

I think it is less anxiety and more that we all just have the ability to find an extra $20-$30 laying around that we don't mind lending out to Amazon for a few days/weeks to see if we get lucky or not.

Well all of a sudden my amazon account is "locked for security reasons" so I can't even log in to claim a refund.. Hmm :sherlock: Surprise surprise :shrug:

Reminds me of last year when Target listed the PS4 uncharted bundle for $33.00...Online and in stores for about a day. This happened the day after I got a PS4 at gamestop

Reviews are always interesting.
Here we have 2 reviewers that love it, say it exceeds their expectations and one that says it is absolute junk/ doesn't work at all, plates don't eventouch, etc.
I looked at one instruction video that showed how to adjust plate "height" so maybe nay-sayer should have adjusted the plates before sending back???

If you see any other reviews, please post and those that ordered, please post any delivery info etc, thanks

Yep. That few reviews don't tell you much. Are the good reviews shills? Is the bad one a clueless person. Is it a good press and one guy got a lemon? Is it shoddy but two people got decent ones?
