phinixYeah that's rough. Being delayed 4 months from the initial projected ship date when the sale ended in August is concerning. I know GMK was rumored to be expanding their factory or w/e but at this rate it feels like they're taking on projects, giving wildly hopeful estimates to get people in and then delaying months at a time.
I haven't been in the community long though and to be totally fair, I've yet to be in any groupbuy that's been on time and on schedule lol.
jaybeeayyyThe quick turnaround time was definitely a big reason I joined the GMK Laser r2 group buy. I understand delays but you make a great point about GMK biting off more than they could chew and possibly causing delays for everyone. Not good business.
Also, I have yet to have a good experience buying from drop (GMK Nautilus Nightmares, anyone?) and this is yet another knock against them. There is a reason people are apprehensive to buy from drop...
phinix:(( i was getting excited too and was ready to get some matching wristrests/cables
heard gmk was backed up quite a bit from all the new vendors coming in
jhsevenEverything I've ever bought from Drop this year has been delayed by at least a month past it's expected delivery date. Now I just factor that in when I'm buying things on here.
jaybeeayyyI have bought a few GMK sets from different vendors and the turn around is always about 10 months. I don't know why the always post those shorter wait times. That is probably the best case scenario and it just doesn't work out that way. There is only 1 GMK and I love the caps, so I'll keep ordering. It does help to have a realistic expectation!
