Go to his site and you will learn that he has been shipping the first group of wired and tested rigs. He's about to release another group.
Simple huh?

That undated notice you mention has been there for months. The guy has a legitimate question.

It's true that the owner has been difficult to contact, I quit trying, but according to his site he's delivering product. It takes a little extra effort to find the "home" on his site.

Simple huh????

I read everything on the site.  First test run in production and shipping....if you want to order for the next run fill out this form...I did, never any confirmation.  I sent 3 messages through his email link on the site and never a response.  I would at least expect a confirmation that the order has been received...etc.  Anything....but nothing heard...zip.  So....not so simple.

Why do you have to answer a simple question with a wise ass remark??  Good going...should be happy with yourself.

OK, I guess the above are meant to be some sort of slightly more polite way of saying the equivalent of RTFM ??  Really?

I filled out the form in Nov 22 but never received a reply.  So in early Jan 23 I submitted the form again, then had second thoughts. I emailed asking if I had submitted two orders and he responded with the two #s  within 24 hours.  He said he would delete the second, so I was in the high 70's out of 150 orders. He also explained that I would receive a confirmation when it was almost ready to ship, and I could complete the CC transaction at that point. 

In the first week of Feb 23 I did receive the confirmation, and completed the transaction. After a few days I received a ship notice with tracking info. It will arrive Feb 14. 

He is a small operation, building these in small batches, and also supporting and shipping his other products.  Give it time.  Hope this helps!

PS: I hope this is not a duplicate reply... I had tried to send once before, but having some issues.
