CPC Move Updates (8 Viewers)

TX_Golf_N_Poker said:
Not exactly correct. In the 1/1/26 email, prior to giving that best guess, he also said "I hate giving out updates and guesstimates while too much of it is out of my control."

Then there was another update on the CPC home page on 1/15/26. This one does not specifically state the "around 30 days" which by that time would only be 15 days. So obviously he was overly optimistic on 1/1.

I understand being frustrated waiting. I understand being frustrated over the lack of communication. Yes, he should take 15 minutes and post a new update on the home page, or here on PCF. But does anyone really think they're going to lose their money here? He's going to get this started up at some point, and you'll eventually get your chips. No way he made this investment in buying the company and moving it across the country just to rip-off a few of you guys off for a couple (many?) thousand bucks each.

Yes, actually I am worried about losing my money. I have an approximately $6k order in and have no way to know if the new owner burned all of his capital in the move and has no way to actually reopen the doors or hire staff. Maybe permits weren’t received because xyz factors and now he’s in bankruptcy trying to shed these assets. Maybe everything is ok. But we have no way to know because there is no transparency beyond the generic “should be up and running in about 30 days.” Things happen to businesses all the time, so yes I am 100% worried…

As I said, a little communication with the forum that will drive his business goes a long way. I don’t care how busy things got as I’m sure most of us would not have placed the order in the first place knowing that they would break their promise of producing all pre cutoff orders at old factory.

@Pippa let us know if you hear anything back on your refund request.
 
Scary situation, and hopefully it works out in the most positive way for everyone involved.

I’m not a business owner, and I can’t speculate as to the intention for the future of this particular business, but it seems like a good amount of business for this company comes specifically from people on this forum. Even just popping on and saying, “Hi, very busy, still need more time to be operational” beats complete radio silence, and wouldn’t take a bunch of time to do.

Maybe there are other aspects/contracts involved here and the PCF custom community is actually small potatoes and less important than it seems in my head?

Life is a crazy thing and hopefully all is well with him and the state of the company, but I’d be worried and frustrated if I had money tied up here.
 
Idk what is going on at CPC but the dude might want to speak up. This whole thread looks like a potential refund rush in the making and that could actually break the company.

Literally, the only people that would purchase CPC would HAVE to be off forum people, because it would have to be someone that didn't realize the people they'd be dealing with as their primary addressable market.

While this is fair and the people here are generally a little insane. It take 43s to just log in, toss in a grenade, and log back out. At least people would be somewhat appeased whatever the answer is.

As a customs sample collector, I didn’t love finding out about the 4 full sets in existence and that samples were pulled from everything created.

The response of “we mentioned at least once in the last decade somewhere” and that it was a nothing burger made me realize I have beyond no clue of what a meaningful issue, meaningful communication, or appeasement looks like here.

I do 100% hope and would guess it’ll all work out, but as someone whose favorite upper echelon chips are custom relabels and whose least favorite upper echelon chips are CPCs, it would be an interesting time if CPC fell through.
 
Hey folks, I know you're all getting restless and deservedly pissed off. I am too. We have everything installed and ready to go here except the boiler/chiller. We have the permit from the city but the landlord has been, well, extremely difficult with okaying parts of the plumbing. In the meantime we're doing whatever we can possibly do without the presses and mill to work on your orders. Unfortunately, there's only a tiny bit we can do and that is the inlays. I've been giving out the same estimate for about 4 months and it's as frustrating for me as it is for you. Things are NOT in my control yet. Once we get the landlord onboard then we can finish up the plumbing and then things ARE in my control.

If you've still got an outstanding order it has priority over everything else. i haven't started taking any new orders until we're operational and we'll never begin to work on new orders until the current ones are finished.

I've got more invested in this company than all of you combined. If any of you are local and want to drop by and see for yourself where we are then let me know.

I get the frustration and anger but it doesn't help me get anything going any faster.

Just set a reminder once a week on Monday with a 1-2 sentence update for us. I swear it’ll make everyone here more content. You can do it while you’re taking a shit. I swear you’ll feel better too (insofar as calming us down, not the dump part).

Appreciate the update Mike. The explanation helps and I think most of us just wanted to know what was actually going on. When updates go quiet, people naturally start filling the gaps with speculation.

Sounds like you’re close and hopefully the plumbing issue with the landlord gets sorted soon so you can finally fire up the presses.

Other chip companies have folded when they attempted to move equipment. Isn’t that how CPC saved the previous business?

ASM Vegas went downhill when the owner responded to completely reasonable complaints that the chips were being sent out warped in an irritated tone, saying something like: “They’re round and they have writing on them—what more do you want, you idiots!”
