Cut off date for K3 options?
Locked
 
|
On the Shipping Status page it states "/At your option we will ship your
K3 with the standard 5 PPM TCXO and then ship you the TCXO3-1 when it is ready - no additional shipping charge". /Should I have been contacted to ask what my option will be? Also, is there a cut off date for ordering (and perhaps swapping) extra options, e.g. filters? There seems to be a lack of information/instructions for those of us with K3s on order! I haven't received a receipt for the deposit either... But get receive an acknowledgement. I assume there will be an invoice for the final amount arriving soon... 73 Dave, G4AON/ / _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I agree, Dave, there does seem to be a lack of information, but my guess is that Elecraft are putting all their resources into ensuring that the first batch of K3s are despatched on schedule in a fortnight's time. The easiest way to check that your order has been accepted is to look at your credit card statement. Having said that, it took a 2-3 weeks after placing my order for my card to be charged. I guess we should all just be patient so as not to slow the process down. In the meantime, it would appear we can use this reflector to talk about "Ham" v. "Amateur", the FCC code test and other such off-topic items! 73 -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK ------ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I'm not suggesting we shouldn't be patient, but having paid a 50% deposit it wouldn't be expecting too much to have a receipt for the payment, showing what is on order and the balance to be paid. We are not talking about a small amount of money here. 73 Dave _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

My credit card was debited with the deposit a couple of weeks later, which I was able to check on-line. Given the number of orders they have received, and the fact that they probably don't have enough staff to deal quickly with what is a one-off deluge of orders, I really don't expect them to spend even more time printing and posting a receipt for the deposit. My credit card statement is all the proof I need. I would rather they spent their time getting the K3s ready to ship. -- Julian, G4ILO G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ??? www.Ham-Directory.com: the best ham resources on the net _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Dave,
All basic K3's include and ship with the 5ppm reference oscillator standard. We only include the 1 ppm oscillator if you ordered it as an option. (If you want to update your order just place an order on the web page and note that it is a change in the comments section. Please reference your original order number if possible. ) The order page note is saying that for those that ordered the TCXO3-1 reference oscillator, if it has not arrived at Elecraft when we ship, we will ship their K3 with the 5 ppm part and then follow it up with the TCXO3-1 when it arrives. This is a plug in part, so anyone can install it. Just before we ship your order, probably about a week prior, we will email you to confirm your options etc. Also, we send out an automatic order confirmation via email when you place your order on the web site. For the deposit your receipt is your credit card charge. The final receipt for the whole order ships with the order in the box to you. Yes, we're very busy getting everything ready to build and ship K3's. The logistics of getting all of the parts, pc boards, sheet metal etc in on time is huge! But we are working overtime to get everyone's K3 out the door as fast as possible. One thing to remember - It will be impossible for us to ship all of the K3 orders for the first run in the first week of shipping. There were way too many ordered. (A nice problem to have..) I know everyone expects their's to ship the first day, but we will be getting them out the door as fast as possible! :-) Please be patient. Starting this next week I will be posting regular updates on our progress and updating our shipping information here and on the web page. 73, Eric WA6HHQ Elecraft ----- Dave G4AON wrote: > On the Shipping Status page it states "/At your option we will ship > your K3 with the standard 5 PPM TCXO and then ship you the TCXO3-1 > when it is ready - no additional shipping charge". /Should I have been > contacted to ask what my option will be?

Maybe you could offer a lower serial number for the folks who would allow you to ship theirs later. I suspect many would rather have that than a discount, but a certain number would request both.

As much as you may not like it, the culture of this mailing list allows
such postings. Trying to change the culture of a list by fiat is pretty useless, and annoying. 73, doug From: "Charles Harpole" <[hidden email]> Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:23:44 +0000 Ok, to save everyone time and energy.... here is the post that will otherwise appear in the hundreds... thousands?.... within a few weeks....
