Lost 75 of the $100 chips

Arrived today.
I think the heavy boxes needed a double box method. :confused

PS: The NCC chips in person are beautiful!!!

this is crazy. I think the only way is to tape the whole box. Tape is surprisingly resistant. Less rigid than cardboard of course but it will withstand to much more abuse.

you can fit 1100-1200 into a LFRB with room to spare, but i would not recommend it. 500-600 packing tightly with padding in a MFRB is a pretty safe bet. also, always use packing tape on all edges - don't trust the cardboard!

exactly. tape is almost indestructible. Trust me I'm an engineer :p

Progress coming along with help from @SeanGecko and @AnteAndy.
I'm going to change the Words (just no idea how to do it) but just showing the colors. Can't believe I got it this far to be honest.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Wasn't going to add a $100 chip bc it will probably never be used but figured I'd just order 25-50 just to have them since price is so good.

Thanks.

@GetUrShineBox , I think I want to work from this $5 chip to add it to my set. Did you ever actually get this chip into a file I can have?

Actually, the box was taped. Looked like Sean had read and followed the recommendations of many for shipping.
The box corners were all taped to reinforce them. :tup:

I think it was just too heavy for one box. The shipment was approx 1400 chips and the cardboard/tape was no match for the weight movement.

There shouldn't be any weight movement.

I didn't order any chips during this GB but seeing more chips makes me excited. To those of you who ordered, thanks for letting me enjoy your chips! @SeanGecko thanks for running this GB.

Hey Sean,

March 20th is over in China, any update from Tina?
 
Is there any ongoing group buy or small order happening that one could get in on?
Or alternatively does anyone have a sample set I could try out, and contact info for alibaba?

I already received my chips, but I seriously don't understand how some of the more recent group buys have already been produced when people are still waiting on chips from this order. I mean, it's been well over six months since payments were made on this order.

It probably has a lot to do with this group buy being 4x -5x larger than the other group buys that came after. More people, more chips, more back and forth over email, more artwork adjustments, more time to reship, etc....

But they had already decided to break it up into lots of about 15,000 chips or so back in August - September at the latest. You would think this company would want to get those lots completed before the more recent orders. It could be close to 10 months for some people to go from payment to receiving their chips. That's just ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure one of the other recent group buys used a different manufacturer (the Canada/US group buy). Not sure about other group buys using this manufacturer and turn around time.

That has been really challenging to deal with. Obviously I don't want to shit on the efforts being made by people and what's been done, but that people who were in the original thread for this and had their art in on time at the very start are still waiting while groups have formed, contacted, ordered, and taken delivery already seems totally bonkers to me. I have no idea why the company put them in front of this order in the queue and why they are completed already.

I was an advocate for the 'cheap, fast, custom - pick two' approach and I figured these would take a long time to get given the side of the order and the price, but it is getting ridiculous. At this point I wonder if I'll ever take delivery and I knew at the start that was a risk, but it seems to drag on indefinitely. I'm still waiting patiently for my chips, but I've had to go back and look at them to remember what they looked like it's been so long.

Additionally, the 'add on' group buy from this same group being spun up gives me pause. If for some reason that group gets their order first I don't think I could deal with it.

Trying to be polite and reflective of things that are outside of people's control, but this I think has reached a tipping point.

I'm with you on most of this. But to clarify, I don't believe any GBs using Tina & Co assembled after Sean's big one have received any chips yet, with the possible exception of the Euro GB which I think was placed at about the same time as Sean's and was considerably smaller. The only other subsequent GB I know of with Tina is the New China Club GB which I believe has also missed the originally promised deadline for production to begin.

I will anxiously await word on the @Pinesol13 / @Raphmivey GB which I believe is being delivered this week. This GB used a different manufacturer, began around November, and I think was placed in January. Possibly LATE January. If so, that is TWO MONTHS from order to delivery. If these chips are equal to the chips from Tina, then I suspect we should consider using this company for any future GBs. Sorry, but Tina's company has consistently missed virtually every deadline they ever set. And like @JustDave and @Himewad have stated, this is really unacceptable.

I think @SeanGecko should even reconsider placing the Batch 5 add-on order with this new company instead of with Tina.

FWIW
I am in a smaller group buy going through Tina for ~10k chips.
We made our order at the end of Dec and started receiving prototype pics just recently.
