Incidentally, I bought the violectric DHA v590 v2 directly from lake people instead of the V222, and what I was told at the time was that they had not received any orders from this vendor. It could be that the person I ordered from just didn't know, but if true, we were just used as a temporary fundraiser.

I don't know if anyone is still following this drop, but if you're in the states and act quickly — you have until the 31st [of January] — you can skip the long wait and still save quite a bit off the asking price. How? Find it (The V222) on power-holdings-inc.com (an official , authorized dealer with actual customer service) and use the coupon code "DropThePrice" at checkout. Thank me later. ^^

DALE$999.95. I received mine from Power Holdings on Monday, 2/5. It's sweet. A preamp function would be a nice addition, but not a major drawback.

Cancelled order. Very disappointed with Drop customer service. Will think long and hard before signing up for another product offering.

I joined the original 1st drop, and cancelled my order near end of Jan. Saw the regular email saying it is ready to ship yesterday and order it immediately, now saying the estimated ship date is Feb 12, i.e. Monday Looks like they are in stock now and lots of 1st drop buyers had cancelled their order (liked me), so they are available for immediate purchase.

camt2005That’s kind of what I thought would happen. Mine came today and I’m listening to it as I type. Very happy with it so far.

This is a scam! DO NOT purchase this product! Two months have passed since we purchased the product and one month past the expected shipping date and we still have not received the product. No contact from Drop. We paid 949$ the day after purchase and got nothing. I will say it again. This is a scam! DO NOT purchase this product!

GEKIKARAI simply don't see your basis for contending that Drop's offer of sale for the V222 is a scam. Maybe you didn't receive the notification I did, but on November 15, 2023, I received an email from Drop, acknowledging the delay in delivery and offering purchasers from the first drop the option to cancel their orders. I'm not here to make excuses for Drop. I don't like having my receipt of a fairly expensive piece of hifi equipment delayed by over a month. (And, by the way, the shipping date from the first drop was "estimated," not definite.) But then, Drop isn't Amazon and, if you're like me, you're willing to suffer some inconvenience for a lower level of customer service and a discount of approximately $350.00. Ten calendar days from 11/28, the day I received a response from Drop's distributor, is 12/8. If you can't wait that long for notification that your order has shipped, then cancel. At least that way, you won't have reason to claim that you're being scammed any longer.

So, I see there is another drop for the V222..We all ordered ours in September for the estimated shipping date of November 9th. It is now almost the first of December and we still haven't received our orders from September..There has been zero communication from Drop. The responses I get from the e-mails that I have sent are vague at best. They were quick to take $949 from each of us, but yet we still haven't received our product. The new estimated shipping date is 12/29. I am really tempted just to cancel my order and purchase a Schiit Mjolnir 3. I don't mind waiting for a product, but the lack of communication from Drop is unacceptable. It isn't hard to send an e-mail out to the people who purchased them and let them know what is going on.

Delivery Update I received an email today from AM&S, who identify themselves as distributor for Lake People in the U.S. AM&S claim responsibility for the delay in shipments of the Drop order of V222s and represent that they will be shipping to Drop customers within 7-10 days. AM&S didn't specify whether that was business or calendar days. I note that AM&S cc'd Lake People on the email sent to me. We shall see what happens. Squeaky wheel gets the grease? Draw your own conclusions. Slim

I have not received any communication from them after the shipping date. These scumbags think the buyer is stupid.

GEKIKARAWhoa there. I’m frustrated too so I submitted a support request. They are still waiting on their shipment from the vendor. I agree communication could be more forthcoming but calling the Scumbag is a bit over the top.

The second estimated shipping date, December 29, has passed, and has anyone received word that it has been shipped? By the way, I have not received any communication.

GEKIKARAI’ve contacted support twice and both times they were responsive, but don’t seem to have any idea where the item is…just that they have not yet received the amps from the vendor yet. Lat communication was a couple of weeks ago. It seems their communication with the vendor is as bad as it is with their customers on this one. I will add I have been with drop for years and participated in many drops when they were still Massdrop. I’ve never had this terrible of an experience with them before and it is really disappointing to see this apparent lack of effort.

mecengIt is infuriating that the product is delayed in shipping. But more than that, I am furious that there is no announcement from DROP. It feels like they are waiting for us to cancel our order by not contacting the customer at all. I have a problem with the way Drop has handled this issue and I hope they improve...
