I, like many of you thought this would be pretty cool and not too pricey but upon reading many of the comments have happily decided against. Thanks all you truth spitters.
**Best Massdrop Tip: Always check the discussion/reviews before each purchase.
This item continues to be one of the most ill-conceived drops MD has ever come up with. Bet the powers that be would think twice if we all chipped in and sent one of these to each of their kids...
Ordered this on a previous drop... Says it shipped Aug 3, and as of today still no shipment or shipment updates on my tracking number. I asked massdrop customer service and was told that often times couriers forget to scan packages which means updates may not show. And that since I'm in Hawaii it can take 3-4 weeks for USPS to deliver. Lol.. malarchy. I've never had orders that were actually shipped take more than a week. Think twice on this one. You may never get it.
And the massdrop rep tried to tell me that sometimes couriers "forget" to scan shipments. And that's why updates might not show. And that because I'm in Hawaii it could take 2-4 weeks for USPS to deliver.. Meanwhile another drop I participated in ended on 8/16 and I received it today 8/23. Guess it's not totally Mass drops fault, but they should consider the vendors they use cause it gives Mass drop a bad name... 🙄
CwLaugerMassdrop ships uses fedex smart post which tells you on the fedex site when you should receive it. ~3+ weeks.
Takes a week or less to reach Chino, CA. Then the the long wait with zero update until it reaches the Honolulu USPS distribution center.
So far one item was lost and a i believe another one is lost too. That is it reaches Chino through fedex and gets lost after that.
If you look at the bottom of each drop it says when it ships and by whom. The one you received quickly was probably shipped by the vender and not Massdrop.
The best chance of things getting lost is between fedex and usps as each can blame the other. So who’s fault is it? So yes if it ships by fedex smart post it is a stupid choice to Hawaii.
I cannot stress enough how poorly made and low quality this drop is. It is by absolute far the worst purchase I've made on this platform.
It's poorly constructed, edges are jagged and the whole thing feels and weighs like something you'd expect from a one dollar Wish purchase.
Once again, DO NOT BUY THIS, IT *WILL* DISAPPOINT YOU.
