Mike Manzara Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I ordered mine on 10/23 and have not heard a word as of yet . I'm getting worried as my show is scheduled to start december 3. A periodic update would be nice but then again we are only Canadians and we go to the back of the line if we do not live in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pest Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Your guess is as good as anyone else's. They have had supplier issues and are shipping as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison0550 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Lol Hmmmm wasn't exactly the answer I was hoping for but hey it is what it is. From what I've read LOR is the best of the best but is there a second best option out there? I really don't wanna give up on this project so close to the end. I guess I will hold off until Monday and give them a call before I jump the gun and assume anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanBry77 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I just ordered 1 also from Don's site, hopefully I got one of the 3 available. I knew when I ordered mine in October that it would be awhile to get, then I started kicking myself for not ordering 2, I didn't realize how fast the channels get used up.

Dave Boros Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I feel for those that haven't received their orders, and I hope they arrive in time. Now, for those that placed orders mid late October and are so surprised they haven't received anything yet, I've got one thing....REALLY!! I mean cmon, people that ordered the first few days they opened sales up again haven't received yet. You knew when it was opening for sale, and it was made quite clear that stock was limited and it was going to take several weeks to get them in because of supplier issues. So those of you who ordered on the 23 or the like that are complaining, you need to get over yourself. It is nobodies fault but your own that you waited so long to order. Those that are waiting patiently, and trying to get a feel for when you might get yours, thank you, and again, I feel for those waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I had ordered one DC controller on 12 September and then modified the order on 30 September to add a second DC controller and a servo dog. I was going to modify the order again to make it 3 DC controllers, but when I fired up the computer on the evening of 2 November, I had received the shipped notice. So I ordered one more DC controller as a separate order on 3 November. I'm really not in any hurry for the additional order as it will be several months before the last of the landscaping project is completed and I will be able to make use of the 3rd controller.Never was planning on a show this Christmas, but while I have the yard down to bare dirt, I'm burying A LOT of conduit (I should end up with about a quarter mile of pipe under a front yard that's only 85 feet long - that does include the sprinklers).

harrison0550 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 So aside from all the witty comments like "REALLY" or "it's your own fault" and "I'm Canadian they hate me" does anyone have any real insight as to wether it's all orders are shipping in average 3 weeks+ or is it just for the pre assembled boards? Seems each device has a different shipping disclaimer under it.PCB16PC assembled = many weeks?PCB16PC Kit = 2 - 3 weeksPCB16K = ships in 2-3 business daysPCB16K starter package = on backorder stock expected late SeptemberNot that I'm agreeing with the Canadian guy, I don't expect an update on my previously ordered package as I hope it arrives in time but I do think the site should be updated as it's no longer September. If they are currently out of everything then it should reflect on the page before we buy it. I really would like to set up a show this year and if the PCB16K's are truly shipping in 2 - 3 business days then I will consider ordering them. Just curious how accurate the sites shipping disclaimers are since they appear to be last updated in Sep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Boros Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 On the forum home page, there is a column on the left side broken down into several boxes. One of them has PDU in it. That has the updates for the controllers and such. The last post I believe was Oct 24. It has the reasons and such in it. Actually, here's the link.http://www.lightorama.com/pdu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richaten Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Ordered 1-CTB16PC 10/3 received 11/2 yaahoo. This bad habit forced me to order another 11/5.We will see how that goes. Also broke a pin on 470 ohm resistor network, request replacement on 11/4,will order from mouser if need be.To this date I am happy with LOR. Also working in the electronic field for over 20 years, relying on overseas distributors can be frustraiting, I have seen lead times from 2 to as much as 12 weeks on the simplest of components.
