So my Steven experience is still going, I decided just to wait it out. He would have happily given me a refund and offered it, but I figure I already wrote off the cash, might as well wait and see what comes. So I'll be getting that trippy recycler bong that didnt recycle when I temporarily repaired it with beeswax... Who knows, maybe a working one will be improved. Then the dome recycler, and he thew in a dubbachino for free. He also send me some expensive Chinese tea as thanks. He responds immediately and makes a good effort. So, im looking forward to being able to share whatever comes with you guys.

Yeah, every tree-perc I've seen on a chinese piece leaves the end open - making it super chuggy and the slits rarely fire

All they do is knockoff what they can see in pictures. They never take the time to think about HOW a piece may function when they design it
Try a little recycler with a portable.
 
ataxian,
Hey everyone! So I decided to purchase a piece from Stevenlmz79 a little while ago(didn't read all the bad stories about him on here, oops). I thought I would just let you guys know of my shipping situation in case anyone was wondering.

The piece I ordered: http://www.dhgate.com/product/2014-...ipe-birdcage/210563134.html#s1-0-1|1246099137

So I placed the order on Dec. 2nd, steven marked it as shipped on the 5th, but the first tracking of the item shows that it was accepted on the 7th. Last update from tracking is that it had left for USSFOF on the 8th.

I think I will be one of the few people to get this from him so I am kind of excited and also kind of worried. Anyone know how long it usually takes for stuff to get through customs? I will be leaving the country in 2 weeks so I hope I get it by then.

I'll update once I get it in hand! I already got a bowl to use in conjunction with the included nail and dome.

FC-187 now says 8 days until seller will deliver.
Literally the night before the fc-187 was made available, I ordered the non-sidecar version (d020-d) from ss. I was thinking that if I had waited I might have piled on to this new 187 with y'all. Otoh coming from ss I am pretty sure I will get my order soon, and the odds are it will be defect-free and unbroken.
As a point of reference, ss gave me a tracking number 7 minutes after my payment was accepted :tup:

SSS it a very good shop. It's prob just my shitty luck but one of my orders was a d022 and it was broken. I recived a refund very fast! I have recieved other complete and functional pieces from them so I'm not saying any bad about them. So I reprdered and they had it shipped out in the 3 days. Too bad it been in customs for over a MONTH! Once again that's just my luck lol and I know that's not on them

Welcome, StevenLmz79 is currently on MANY of our watchlists for the new FC-187 piece he just released.

I wouldn't get too worried if it takes a while to clear customs. Many pieces from my favorite vendor take 10 days from shipping to delivery, but one piece for no reason at all got stuck for a month in customs (I didn't even know if it was in China or the USA!).

The amount of days they list is a processing time before shipping. It can take up to that many days to ship out, and however many more days to arrive from China. I have seen processing times from a couple days all the way up to 50 days like yingmin with the 187 lots.

Everyone please have patience. There are many things that can delay shipping and stressing about it will not make things go any faster. Usually when I order pieces from China I don't even bother with tracking. They all come eventually and it's a cool surprise. Sometimes I even forget I ordered something and it is even more cool when I open it.

If nothing has happened in the 9 days since ordering that would be the time to raise questions and right now is premature :2c:

No clue what I did yesterday

I disagree man. Of course shipping times vary greatly and China is a gamble. However, your man claims to have 100 pieces in stock. He should ship immediately if that is true. I'm not stressed and it is all fun and games but why delay if he has stock?

Use what you have until it arrives!

I ordered a GB-186 from Maarte a few days ago because Yinming was out of stock. When I came back on the forum someone posted that Yinming was back in stock... So now I'm stuck waiting the 15 day processing time instead of 3 days. Just the way it goes sometimes.

I used my own referral link so hopefully I'll get a $10 coupon (it has worked for me before) to use on the FC-187.

I'll probably hold out until someone receives theirs so I know the quality is good.

There are lots of businesses states side that ship once a week. I really don't think anyone needs to be anxious quite yet.

I agree, he probably doesn't go and ship until there is a sizable amount of orders to go out.

9 days is a bit much IMO, but I am guessing he will be shipping out before then.

Damn, that's pretty close to the original. It's hard to tell since the photo was taken at an angle but I think the base of the mouthpiece might need to be a bit higher relative to the top of the perc. I fill mine to the bottom of the slanted perc hole, sometimes a bit higher.

EDIT: Saw the water test in the Concept thread, water really shouldn't be bubbling up the mouthpiece since there will be splashback. @blankrider if you need any pics for reference I could get some for you.

I'd still be interested in the Maarte version when you get it. I don't think anyone here has reported back about one yet.
