Happy for you Lucic, glad you didn't actually get leapfrogged. Probably just sent out all the notifications on the purple bottoms first or something or other. Originally when purchased I was hoping for a birthday present. Unfortunately it will be a week or two or three late. I'm not worried. Just slightly disappointed. Absolutely nothing towards Tom or Pam, just that I built it all up and let my own thoughts get a little out of my control. Can't wait to stop burning again. Hurry up and heal before I keep hurting my health :lol:. But seriously take your time Tom, feel better, get healthy :).

That's exactly how I felt as well. Nothing against Tom or Pam, just a human emotion of disappointment that I couldn't deny. Not sure what "Approved - FBA" means either. Nothing was shipped, so I still am waiting with you. ;)

Eh, everyone else got the approved thing and it was sent. Someone up a few posts said they thought it was possibly "Fulfillment by Amazon" but I don't know. I don't doubt you'll be holding it soon enough, especially in comparison to the wait time.

I think approved means your order has been approved to be shipped and is just waiting to be shipped. Mine went approved the day before it was shipped. I guess it could take longer if you get approved before the batch from Tom gets to where ever they are shipped from now.

We ship to Amazon somewhere in Indiana (for Vapenow.com). From watching the posts and the timing of our shipments, I think Amazon turns them around in a day or so and they head back out to the customer. Not sure about what approved or any other label means, but, it seems they have them in hand before any changes in status are made. :2c:

I wish I could snap fingers or blink and eliminate the waiting period, instead it just takes steady work, and that makes a steady (but limited) flow.

* * *
About the Purple vs. Paisley... I think I have said it before, Vapenow has the waiting list and knows what ratio they need to fulfill orders. They place an order with us for x# Paisley and x# Purple. They are trying to keep them even, as much as possible, and we build them as needed. :cool:

So, I suggest you order what you like. Ordering one or the other will never get you a unit quicker, other than pure chance on the week our shipment arrives at Amazon. And since we are all doing our best to keep the list even... why not get what you want?

* * *

Which brings up the 'Either Style' choice. With the above described attempts to keep the list balanced, 'Either Style' just means you didn't make a choice, and the choice will have to be made for you.

As I described, Vapenow places an order with us and gives us a count of Purple and Paisley based on who is next on the wait list and what they prefer. Let's use the number 10 to keep things simple. Vapenow looks at the next 10 orders, say 5 Purple, 3 Paisley, and 2 Either. Since Vapenow doesn't care what the 'either' s want, they say, Tom 5,3,2 .

I have news for you... Since I pay to have the laser logo applied and have to take them to the laser shop and wait on their return before I can proceed, that order is for 5 Purple and 5 Paisley.

In Other Words: All orders for "Either Style" are really just orders for Paisley. Cause if you don't care, why would I?

Either = Paisley

Very good info, Tom. Thanks for the update. Hope you're healing up well.

Fulfillment by Amazon is dead on. We send shipment requests to them as soon as they have the PDs in stock and they typically ship within 24 hours. So if you get an FBA approved update, it means your PD is shipping within 24 hrs barring anything unforeseen.

Night all :)

Thank you for the clarification, and to lo, I believe the original guesser of the FBA, you win a cookie :D! Now lo, to collect your prize you must send me your PD, remember, it's a full size cookie :lol:.

haha, well then mine I think has seen the unforeseen. ;)

No change on mine, just still under processing. Nothing to do with shipping yet, 3 days later.

I would think you have to keep in mind, business days. I know today was monday, but there was a weekend. I don't know their schedule and cannot account for them, but if there is no change by tomorrow, then I would think it may have seen the unforseen :2c:.

Yeah, it's all good. Whenever it's here it's here. Just giving a little play on words. But once yours hits this stage, you can't help but salivate at the thought of it sitting on your doorstep.

It's been this great item I've wanted for a while and I put it out of my mind for so long. But now that's it so close, I am turning into a lunatic. :o

Seems like you are most likely due in the next batch. At least from my perspective you should be. Even if ALL the order numbers in front of you to Lucic or someone else in the last batch were PD numbers you would probably have a decent shot, barring the chance of you getting leapfrogged, I think you should get it. I seem to kind of just be rambling in the notions you have come up with. It is probably the effect of my getting closer haha. Can't get enough of this site right now and in the next coming weeks probably.

Thanks man. I am so ripped right now. I love this thing! I'll post some pics later. My unit is great so far. The clip didn't need to be set, nothing rattling, good grain, etc.

I love the Paisley bottom. This thing looks great and no one would ever know what it was.

I'm glad to hear you're loving it already... Definately do post pix in the PD thread, would love to see your grain!

BTW, I buttered mine again today and just realized that it is aging a bit, getting darker... Beautiful!! Show us your paisley ;)
