Q: Any updates on shipping times as it is nearing the end or March?

Asked by: Tony Gualtieri - 3/23/2017

A: Grain Father ran into a production issue that pushed the availability of these back even further than expected. We will be processing orders through the next few weeks as the controllers move into our facility. This may take through Early April depending on where in rotation your order is on the Pre-orders

Q: I think that all of us pre-orders that have been subject to delay after delay should get free 2 day shipping? ;)

Asked by: Frank S - 3/11/2017

A: Unfortunately we would not be able to offer this at this time. The items were marked as Pre-Order at the time we had originally listed them. Grain Father and their vendor had provided information on availability to their retailers that proved to be incorrect, resulting in multiple delays. We do understand the frustration in the wait, but we have been int he same boat concerning when the controllers will be in.

Q: What a disappointment with the delay in shipping. TBH, I thought by quickly purchasing (and being charged before shipping) on the pre-order that I would have had the unit very close to when they hit the GF store. Now March? Were you promised these units at the time of their US release?

Asked by: Gary - 2/8/2017

A: This has been an ongoing issue we are working on with Grain Father and their distributor within the US. they were listed for general Sale by Grain Father prior to their arrival into the country, and what we were told, ended up to be a different scenario in terms of shipping time frame. the have confirmed the March date will be met for processing of the Pre-Order sales.
