imawlkr2 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Got my invoice too.I just received a Google Wallet email from Jacob saying he is expecting the lights tomorrow (9/27). Fingers crossed that they put the right lights in the container this time around!Great, I wasn't worried till you said that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imawlkr2 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The invoices were for those of us that payed just the 60% in the begining. If you paid in ful;l, I don't think you will get the e-mail from Google Wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid in ful;l, I don't think you will get the e-mail from Google Wallet.I received that invoice last month. I assumed that meant that my lights were ready to ship then. I was wrong. I has been almost 9 months since I placed my order the first week of January and I still don't have a reasonable estimate when my lights will arrive. I have been getting better updates from this forum than I have been getting from the guy that has my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been getting better updates from this forum than I have been getting from the guy that has my money.That's because the guy that has 'your' money has come in here to update us in this thread. Go back to the 9/22 post at 10:21 AM. DHS is now involved and we're at their mercy as to when they'll release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hall Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 That just strikes me as yet another reason to delay.Of course it's a delay because it's well a real delay. Unless you are implying he made up the DHS inspection story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techster Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wow, this topic has over 16,000 views - now that's a lot of lights. I wonder what topic has the most views ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre03 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 watching from the sidelines on this 1. Do group buys such as this presale usually go this way? would you guys do this again? debating if I should do this next year as my display grows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGabriel Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 CDI is the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydave Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 CDI only offers whole Box quantities.MITS lets you buy individual stringsThis is why I elected to go with MITSI pretty sure that jacob will come through as promised.. it's just taking longer due to circumstances out of his hands.Does it suck yes.. are people getting annoyed yes.Hopefully by next friday I will have my lights.

EARLE W. TALLEY Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Sabre03, the pre-sales will start after the first of the year, compare the prices and make up your own mind. You can base your decision on this thread or other things that went right or wrong. This is the second year for MITS to offer the lights at a good price, yes you may have to wait longer for them, but they have always come thru. If I need lights for next year and if MITS offers them I will buy my lights from MITS. If you need lights NOW (can't wait 9 mo) then buy from someone else next year.Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulXmas Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have done presales and would again (if wife lets me).CDI last yearhttp://www.holiday-light-express.com this year.And very happy with both.I for one would want the lights in my hands long before this because this year I am replacing all the lights on my wire frames and it is taking forever!

Redbirdruss Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 For me, I have a lot of other life issues to worry about than when I am going to get my exterior Christmas lighting completed. If the lights are late, my show will be missing some features until I can get them completed. I actually like adding to my show during the season. Keeps the viewers guessing and I find it fun to tinker. It seems others are a bit more tightly wound than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
