(CLOSED) Turbo Everdrive Group Buy ORDERED!

spenoza · 08/05/2014, 11:38 PM

Do we have a tracking number, yet, for the consolidated shipment?

jtucci31 · 08/08/2014, 10:25 AM

I just got an email with the shipping confirmation. It shipped today, 8/8/14. I'll keep everyone posted, hopefully it gets here soon!

jlued686 · 08/08/2014, 11:06 AM

Fuck. YES! Thanks for the update!

Medic_wheat · 08/08/2014, 11:18 AM

Groovy

NightWolve · 08/08/2014, 11:10 PM

YAAAAY! PROGRESS!

I'm gonna get to play Batman on my Express finally! ;)

spenoza · 08/11/2014, 10:26 PM

So, does it have tracking info? My experience with such things is that the tracking is only effective inside the US, but you never know.

johnnymad · 08/11/2014, 10:32 PM

I ordered a bit before you guys. Got a tracking number but it's not in any format I'm familiar with. I keep checking back to see if it has updated to a USPS number but it hasn't.

Yeah this is strange. They said to use the Ukraine tracking and through Google chrome translation, which I'm sure isn't the best, it says almost nothing. USPS tracking has nothing on it yet. I'm sure we are getting there. I'll keep everyone updated as i get more information, i promise I'm not holding out on yalls

johnnymad · 08/11/2014, 10:37 PM

I feel like the Everdrive will somehow teleport into my mailbox and never actually enter the postal system. That weird number is like the number you get at the DMV. Just waiting on that number to start the teleportation.

You won't see anything on USPS until they scan it in the US.

munchiaz · 08/12/2014, 02:59 PM

it would be awesome if this arrives on or before 8/23 so i can use it at my retro game night. *crosses fingers*

override · 08/12/2014, 03:13 PM

Dang I wish I would have been on board for this, I've been looking at getting one for mine aswell!

Medic_wheat · 08/12/2014, 04:15 PM

What was that link for the cutom case for the PCB again?

I can't seem to remember which thread or page it was posted on a few weeks ago.

johnnymad · 08/13/2014, 07:02 PM

I entered the Ukraine tracking number they gave me into USPS and my Everdrive is at least in the US. Took four days to make it from shipment to clearing customs in Ukraine. Was hung up in New York for a couple days as well. Mine should be here soon and your order not far behind.

FiftyQuid · 08/13/2014, 10:28 PM

Keep those updates coming! I'm getting excited for it to arrive and it's not even being shipped to me directly!

My order is about 4 days before the group buy. Group order should still be getting into the country soon if it isn't already here. Hoping mine comes tomorrow since my micro SD should be arriving as well.

NightWolve · 08/14/2014, 01:59 AM

I'd be pretty happy with that shell. It's $16.50 + $5 shipped, so $21.50, then you have to ask the guy that made the label for one, so add more for that... A little too much in total for just plastic value wise... I dunno if I'll get it, I'll see. I doubt it though. I think $15 shipped is as far as I'm willing to go, my pricepoint range.

johnnymad · 08/14/2014, 09:45 AM

Whew! That looks great. So many cool covers out there. Makes me want to buy them all and change them out every couple days. Like a Turbo fashion show or something.

johnnymad · 08/16/2014, 11:43 AM

Mine came in today! It was shipped on the 4th and arrived on the 16th. Entered the country in New York and made it to south Louisiana in about 3 days. Group buy order should be in soon. And if you'll excuse me, I have several hundred games to try out.

jtucci31 · 08/16/2014, 12:02 PM

Cool! Glad to see you got yours. Our package is in NY right now, should be here by Monday or Tuesday and I'll get them shipped out by Thursday

spenoza · 08/16/2014, 12:20 PM

Suh-wheat!

That's actually a thing, I swear.

No, I'm totally lying. It's not a thing.

FiftyQuid · 08/19/2014, 12:14 PM

Any update on this? I'm getting overly antsy.

NightWolve · 08/19/2014, 01:58 PM

Heh.

jtucci31 · 08/19/2014, 11:57 PM

Don't listen to Null, he's all about the money.

The package has made its way from New York to New Jersey. It is poking its way here. Soon enough!

spenoza · 08/21/2014, 01:12 PM

Oh, if it is in New Jersey we will never get it. Nothing leaves New Jersey alive.

MrFulci · 08/22/2014, 12:59 AM

Jtucci,

What's the news concerning this? Is it estimated to arrive to you by the end of the week?

I thought it would but honestly were are looking at early next week. It may come today or tomorrow but i have since gone away to school. I was really hoping it would get to me before then, but it just adds on an extra day or two. I know that sucks, and I'm sorry. Bear with me, I'll move as fast as i can once they arrive.

clackattack · 08/25/2014, 06:40 PM

Seeing all those rad cases REALLY makes me want one of these things now! Hopefully once this round is all sent out accordingly we can do round 2...

spenoza · 08/27/2014, 05:17 PM

Well, it's been 5 days since the last update. About time to check in again and see where things are. What's the low-down, Mr. Brown?

No rush jtucci31. Just want to say thanks for doing all of this. I'm sure it has been/will be a big pain in the ass dealing with 20 orders. I'm sure you were only expecting 10 when you decided to lead this endeavor.

Seconded. Plus, you likely had some arsehole who didn't pay you until a few days ago, what a shitehead.

Thanks again for doing this

jtucci31 · 08/29/2014, 12:46 PM

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

I've got some work to do!

FiftyQuid · 08/29/2014, 12:50 PM

That is one sweet looking package! (That's what she said).

spenoza · 08/29/2014, 09:35 PM

Hey, at least it looks like they all come with their own little bubble wrap pouch. Hopefully that will save a little effort.

FiftyQuid · 08/29/2014, 09:43 PM

If you are shipping mine to Canada, please wrap it up more. That single piece of bubble wrap won't make it to Customs with a single bubble left unpopped. I don't know if USPS uses them to cushion their asses on the drive up the Canada, but they're always flatter than a tire when the package arrives at my house. No bubble wrap mailers please. Use a box.

jtucci31 · 08/29/2014, 10:15 PM

One everdrive was damaged. A reset button on one broke off during shipping. I contacted retrogate and I have to ship it back to get it repaired. Luckily for everyone here, they will all get theirs! A friend of mine bought one as well and he is fine with waiting. And don't worry, I checked every everdrive, no broken pieces

(thank god)

But don't worry FiftyQuid, I'm shipping every one in a box. I managed to get my hands on a ton of leftover newspapers. And I've got some extra bubble wrap from various things. I'm trying to make sure it's packed tightly enough for it to make it to you safely.

johnnymad · 08/29/2014, 10:55 PM

Woo hoo! Glad your order finally came in. You guys are going to love it.

FiftyQuid · 08/29/2014, 11:05 PM

Bummer about the broken one. Think you could solder it yourself to save yourself the trouble of the RMA?

BlueBMW · 08/30/2014, 12:57 AM

If the button is still there and is just detached from the board (ie just needs resoldering) Send that one to me, I can handle the solder work.

I'll PM you when i get the chance. I'd much rather not have to ship it internationally for one item. I have two pieces to the thing but am missing one i believe. I'll send ya pics and whatnot tomorrow. That would be a big help!

Keith Courage · 08/30/2014, 02:29 AM

Who cares about a reset switch? Isn't that what the power switch on the system is for? I'd just take it and leave it as is.

What is so hard about turning the power off on the actually system and turning it back on again. I mean, you have to hit the reset button which is right next to the power slider anyways right?

BlueBMW · 08/30/2014, 10:45 AM

True that ^^^^ If it functions correctly (ie plays games off an sd card) then that's good enough for me. I dont mind the broken / semi broken one
