Addendum to the last update...

I want to apologize to those that wrote asking about the ship date.  I certainly didn't mean to sound like it was a problem.  Unfortunately, when you use "quotes", it makes everything seem sarcastic.  You are always welcome to write and ask about ship dates, I just wanted to clarify why the shipments are a little late.

Thanks again!

No frills shipping update...
over 6 years ago – Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 05:20:48 PM

Hey, hey...

Always delays, always some issue but, as of tonight we will be about 50% shipped and close to 90% shipped by Friday.  Basically, if you didn't order Titanium, your package is already on the way or will be on the way by Friday.  Titanium is finishing up in a week or so but I'm still determined to get them out the door before the end of the month.  Will mostly depend on the laser engraving schedule.

Side note on shipping estimates.  I've had a few people write and state that the "shipping date was September".  Please keep in mind that with a crowdfunding campaign, these are always estimates and can rarely be exact.  You're dealing with having a new product manufactured so there will always be hiccups but, we got pretty dang close.  To put it in perspective, one of the first campaigns I backed was "estimated" to arrive in December of 2012 and I still haven't received it.  The funny part is that us backers get occasional updates stating where he is with the piece etc.  I think that ship has sailed man.

I appreciate all of your patience and hope you dig your Centre spinners! 

Thanks again!!

Progress

Hey, hey, hey...just another quick progress update.  The little beauties are getting the slots put in the side (photo below) and then one final operation after that.  The caps are back from laser engrave (maybe I mentioned that already) and sitting here waiting to be assembled.  The bearings are supposed to ship on the 11th but that's still not a guarantee.  Keep you posted on that one. 

Can't wait to get these beauties in my hand!

Thanks again for all of the support!  I'll have another update next week.

p.s. If you haven't already, please check out my wife's project.  She's working hard to make it happen and so grateful for the support so far.  Oh...I also play a part in the brand, if you were wondering :)  Gemma Raffo is an idea she's had for years but I haven't had time to help make it a reality.  The meaning behind it is pretty special and she's excited to share it with everyone.

 

The latest and Gemma Raffo launch

Hey guys,

Just got word that the caps are on the way back from laser engrave and the bearings are two weeks out.  I should have some quantity ready to ship in a few weeks and they will trickle out the door in the weeks following.

In other news...My wife just launched her first campaign!  It's been years in the making and the funding from this campaign/Passing Coin will go to create multiple pieces that will launch this holiday.

I'll let the campaign speak for itself but I encourage you to watch the video and check out some testimonials at the bottom of the campaign.  They are a bit long but worth the read, in my opinion.

The Passing Coin

Finally, please take the time to sign up for the newsletter at GemmaRaffo.com
We will be sending out a "brand launch" newsletter in November/December with an exclusive discount code for the new products.

Thanks for all of the support!
