The Nomad From Morwood

[Stonedbadger]

No I don't live in America so no import tariffs here!!

 

[letter never sent]

Did you guys had (or will have) to pay extra import tariffs?

No idea. My tracking has been stuck on “processed through Chicago international facility” for 3 days now.

The same.

I'm curious what is left to do on the unshipped batch 2 Nomads. From the updates we got, all the units were pretty close to being out the door in the beginning of the year. So, I wonder what is going on and why it is taking so long to get these done. I can't believe half a year has passed already.

I mean, it's taken years to get to this point...

I’ve been wondering if this will be subject to tariff. I certainly hope not, but given how nuts this whole process has been…

Anybody receive theirs or close? My tracking hasn't updated since entering Chicago on the 25th.

It seems even in transit through the mail, time moves slower for the Nomads...

Nah, still the same over here.

 

[jbm]

Nah, still the same over here.

Likewise. This whole process has been infected with delay.

Damn, imagine the customs agent that has handfuls of Nomads all in the same location and has no idea the magnificence they possess.

Could all this delay be because we’re being assessed for tariffs?

 

[seriousTone]

Could all this delay be because we’re being assessed for tariffs?

According to Copilot, so take that as you will:

"De Minimis Threshold: Under U.S. Customs rules, packages valued at $800 or less are generally duty-free under Section 321 entries."

"Country of Origin Matters: If the item was made in Canada and qualifies under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA) rules of origin, it’s typically exempt from tariffs."

FWIW I didn't get hit with any tariffs and I'm in the states.

Fingers crossed that everyone with a Nomad in the mail gets it soon, and that the others get an update from Dan this month. It's been about a month since the last update, so I'm really curious how everything is going and how close to the finish line we actually are.

Finally out of Chicago, was in Pittsburgh as of yesterday am. No ETA on USPS tracking.

 

[jbm]

Out for delivery as of this morning.

Same here. Of course I am out of town until Monday. Oh well, my wife will retrieve the package for me and I’ll have a nice thing waiting for me when I get home.

Really beautiful. The wood grain reminds me of sunlight reflecting off a lake. Congrats! It was a long wait.

Thank you. I have this weird anticlimactic feeling. I’m charging a p30b for it at the moment.

Damn, congrats! What is it that's anticlimactic you think?

Funny you say that because I got that feeling from your initial post but also as excited as I am for mine to show up, I sort of have the same feeling.

Too much waiting? Maybe we're ungrateful lol.

I think it's normal to feel like this after waiting years for an item. We've probably built up a lot of hype and expectations over time and nothing can live up to 5 years worth of hyping. A session or two with it might sort things out, though. It is a really great little device and there's nothing else quite like it.

almost too beautiful to use?
