I just received this "update" email.
Hey Guys and Gals,
It’s us again, letting you know how your Rotring 800 Mechanical Pencil is doing. We were informed by Rotring that they expected to have the products shipped out to us by September 1st, however, we felt that this wait time for manufacturing was unacceptable, and therefore, we have decided to source the products elsewhere. Your Rotring 800 Mechanical Pencil will now be shipped out to you by the end of June.
Thanks for being such a valued member of the Massdrop community!
I'm going to vouch for massdrop's excellent customer service in the sense that after the last email, I requested a full refund and they prompted returned my money.
