Human psychology hey? I find it somewhat amusing and unusual that I haven’t been annoyed by the delays to eg the Tempest or the Thermal Accumulator but do get annoyed by the Vapman and Lotus threads and website/s and I really don’t know why that is.To all who are annoyed by those things running not always perfectly (me included): Just keep in mind, Michael and David are doing all the work by themselves. They are quite young and it seems they are learning on the go and keep trying to get better every day. I do not want to imagine how much work this must be for them. I'm annoyed by the delays, too. IMHO, they need to get better, especially regarding their strong-worded announcements. I mean, we wouldn't be that much disappointed if they just wouldn't set a fix date everyone is waiting for. Just say: "the new product will probably be finished in winter-spring 2024" and everyone would be fine with it. But that happens to most of us, doesn't it? It took me many many tough last-minute-actions in my life to learn that even the best time management is worthless if you get sick, for example.
M&D are not like amazon or some other hyper-capitalistic warehouse, and that's good. Very good.
I'm not sure they have an office in the us but maybe just a warehouse that they share with others foreign companies. There are US companies that helps foreign manufacturers to import in the US.Some of us voiced concern about Vapman decision to maintain US and Italian companies, at the same time as launching a new brand, and 2 new products. Two offices on two continents suggests it's considerably more than m&d involved these days.
I might be mistaken but I thought their US/NowInhale office shared an address with the former Lotus company. [Edit: link to my previous post]I'm not sure they have an office in the us but maybe just a warehouse that they share with others foreign companies.
From what I understand, there had been a number of issues with US orders several months ago where an overzealous customs employee was restricting their products as e-cig gear, so they switched carriers and began to ship groups of orders or just bulk stock to a vender in the US who is an expert at getting orders to doorsteps asap. Your tracking will indicate the current system. The notifications for this system could be improved but it otherwise seems to have solved the issues we were having. For those outside the US, I'm not sure what if anything has changed.i never received that one.
but that does not make any sense why they have done that. Hopefully this all ends up okay in the end. But this will definitely be my last order with them
Station already landed in the mailbox.
Damn, that was fast !
Will report as soon as I can !
Mine is in the country, winging it's way too Glasgow as we speak. Due on Friday, but I think it will be here tomorrow. £76 import fees on top
Yes. That makes no sense. Would have thought it would be the sameBut £83 import fees for me to London I blame UPS here
I assume you paid full price, and not using the preorder discount code. That would explain the difference maybeBut £83 import fees for me to London I blame UPS here

Oh well. Suppose be glad just to get it in your hands. Review above is a bit ropey to say the least! Looks like the usual quality control was skipped to get this out there. Hope we don't regret thatAh, interesting, no I paid with the discount, or at least I think I did hey ho not really a problem, just slightly confusing
Edit
Can’t see anything on UPS as to the price they think I paid for the Station, but govt charges are £69.82 and brokerage charges are £12.90

Maybe my expectations were too high...Review above is a bit ropey to say the least!
