Weāve essentially ordered a set number of machines worth of parts and then assume that weāll be able to fulfill that amount minus a safety percentage. What happens sometimes is that we may start to find issues with a specific part later on in the batch and that issue removes more parts from availability than we accounted for in our safety percentage - this requires that we need to source additional, small batch replacements in order to finish putting together the orders weāve received. Normally though, once the orders surpass our safety percentage, then we just inform customers that theyāre now going to be a part of the next batch and that fulfillment for that batch will begin at a certain date

Delivery has landed. Shipped Sep 30th. On my doorstep at 11am Oct. 5th. Not too bad on the shipping. It was actually in my local UPS hub on Friday at 6am, So it could have been as quick as 2 days to Alabama.
Vat/Customs was $31 Gov. charge + $44 brokerage fees = $75.
I ordered everything but the router.
Now to build a tableā¦

I hate this list. I have to check it every 5 minutes to see if I am moving up, knowing full well my longmill is still several weeks out. It will be worth the wait, but waiting is difficult.

My number is 26529 and was told it would ship mid next week but donāt see my number, will it ship, they said I was 44
Wooooo cracked the top 100 today (#26735)! Really excited to hear about Batch #4 when we have some news. Keep up the great work!
Just to help out for those that are getting LongMills shipped to the States. Mine shipped Wednesday. I checked the tracking and saw I had a bill to pay. Actually UPS said attention required. I logged in to my UPS account and paid the bill. For my purchase the fees totaled to just under $72. That is consistent with what I had learned prior to me ordering my CNC with some accessoriesā¦
