We spoke to our representative earlier today with the hopes of providing the group some good news, but due to the acquisition of Sheaffer and the current restructuring of their fulfillment strategy, delays that were originally unexpected are still ongoing.
We have been in regular contact with our representative throughout the process and they have been forwarding us the latest from the fulfillment channel. The dates that were provided have been changing from week to week. Units were scheduled to arrive with the vendor later on this week, but that estimate was pushed back earlier this morning.
We are very unhappy with the situation and feel that the best option for the group is a full refund in addition to a $15 credit. We understand that this option doesn’t nearly make up for the inconvenience, but at this point we are not confident that the vendor will be able to get these in soon.
A lot of feedback has been passed to the vendor for this drop and we will make sure that these issues are addressed before running another promotion.
The refund will be applied to your payment method within 1-3 business days. For the $15 credit it will be available immediately and can be applied to any order on Massdrop. Please reach out to us https://www.massdrop.com/support when you would like the credit applied.

elimelendezSo does this mean that we won't be getting the pens, period, or that we'll be getting the refund, the credit, and whenever the pens eventually meander their way into the warehouse, the pens?
KrisLyssaraHey @KrisLyssara -- I think this was handled through email because members in the group were affected differently, and also because this was a really long delay with inventory that was 1) not actually what we placed an order for and 2) on backorder for longer that we were told to expect.
This was really frustrating for members, and our team as well. Everything from the last drop should be resolved, but if you still need anything please let me know (writing@massdrop.com).

An update for the group, the vendor has informed us that the units should arrive at their warehouse on Thursday. This shipping date is tentative and may change, but our representative feels more certain with this date .
We completely understand the group's frustration with the moving arrival date and have expressed this to the vendor. Sheaffer was acquired by A.T. Cross and is going through some updates to their distribution process. Because of this all outbound orders for sales channels are experiencing delays that were not mentioned to us when the drop was started.
Because of the rolling ship date we are offering the option to get a full refund, if you prefer not to wait for the pens and want to have your order cancelled just reach out to us at https://www.massdrop.com/support, we will make sure you are taken care of.

An update for the group, we spoke to the vendor earlier today and they informed us that the pens are expected to come in any day now, but they are unfortunately unable to commit to a specific date . We will remain in contact with them and make sure to keep you informed on the progress of the order.
Thanks for your patience and expect an update from us on 5/18 or sooner if something comes up.

An update for the group, the vendor has informed us that the backordered pens are on their way to his warehouse. They have assured us that the units should be in our warehouse early next week. Not to worry we will keep you posted on the progress of the units.
Thanks for your patience and expect an update from us on 5/13.
Quick update for the group we talked to the vendor earlier today and they are still working on getting the remaining orders shipped out. Sheaffer was acquired by A.T. Cross a short while ago and is now undergoing some updates to their distribution process. Due to this all outbound orders for all sales channels are currently experiencing delays that were unforeseen and not mentioned to us when the drop was ran. We are in very close contact with the vendor and trying to get this sorted and have your orders shipped as soon as possible.
We will remain in contact with them and update you all as soon as news is made available.
Thanks for your patience and expect an update from us on 5/6 or sooner if something comes up.

Quick update for the group. We are in contact with the vendor and awaiting updated shipment estimates from them. We have a call scheduled first thing tomorrow morning and should get a bit more visibility in regards to when we can expect these in our warehouse. We will update the group as soon as these are on the way.
Currently we expect that these will be in our warehouse inline with the expected ship date listed in the drop description page.
Thanks for your patience and expect an update from us on 4/30 or sooner if something comes up.

Thanks again for joining this drop! With your help we were able to make it successful for the community. We've just submitted the group's order with the vendor for the Sheaffer Taranis Fountain Pen and they are working hard to prepare it for shipment.
As soon as the group's order is ready at the vendor's location, they will send the bulk shipment to our warehouse in New Jersey where our warehouse team will break it up into individual orders and ship them directly to you! The current estimated ship date from our warehouse is 5/8.
Rest assured that we we will provide you all with updated information regarding the status of your order throughout the process. You can expect an update from us by the end of the day Pacific Time on 4/27.

So, 12 hours left to make up my mind and I'm likely to sleep for about the last eight of those... I like the design but it's a bit pricey... My understanding is that Sheaffer nibs nowadays are made by Bock, and I think Bock nibs are nowhere near as nice as those from Pilot and Platinum, and there is little point in buying a pretty pen if I end up filling it only once...

I was planning on joining this drop, but not at the price for the color I want (Stormy Wine). I don't see that gold plating is worth an extra $20.
