News from WNW

[Edo]

True enough, Bo!
Nevertheless I envy their working condition as they don't seem stressed at all! Maybe it is all due to a downunder-mediterranean attitude, but compared to the pace other manufacturer in central Europe turn out models is seems to me they do enjoy a lovely work enviorment...
Here in Italy we say that "Perfection is Good's enemy" and, even if I like WNW to notch quality, I am turning to other manufacturers as I don't like all the subjects in their catalougue and no new one is coming out (not considering the price issue).
So maybe, they should consider this threat in their business model: a too long waiting for a perfect model could divert part of their demand to other manufacturer....
not wanting to teach nothing to anyone, just a stream of consciousness of mine...

I was just horsing around by saying that.i was implying that the WNW employees are selling oop kits that they personally  stashed and were going to wait unttil that market died out before they give us the special editions .I was just kidding around though

[uncletony]

It's been a week since the release, i ordered the instant is was available. Up to now i've had NO confirmation of my order nor a notice of the box being shipped. Has anyone received a notification??

[fredjocko]

I received notice that mine shipped Tuesday morning, 09/22/2015, and when I checked the status on the NZ Post website it was already enroute to the USA. Usually it says its being transported to the post office for a few days.

From past experience the NZ post tracking system is highly unreliable, I have received my order before the tracking says the parcel had even left NZ, about as reliable as a two bob watch.

I ordered two kits last week & received the posting notification on Monday this week.

Same here - My latest kit (Roland C.IIa Late) only showed it had been picked up from the warehouse for delivery..... it arrived on Wednesday and then after signing all the tracking data was populated.

To be honest though I really can't understand what all the fuss when people start screaming blue murder when kits don't suddenly appear after 4 days or about delayed shipping, it's shipped tracked with insurance, if it goes missing Dave will contact the postal service AFTER the required time stipulated by the post office for claims has passed. If it can not be tracked Wingnut Wings will send out a new kit.

I don't think anyone in the history of WnW has lost out financially, although I know a few have benefited from it when kits thought lost have suddenly arrived on the doorstep 5-6 weeks after being shipped.

Yes you may need to wait an additional few days but in the grand scheme of things you haven't missed out on anything, nor have you lost money. Maybe use the time for some self awareness and gratitude meditation?

I've had a very positive experience so far with NZ post with the exception of decals for the Pfalz D IIIa.  Since they're not tracked through NZ post, I waited quite a while before contacting WNW for replacements.  Now I don't know if the loss was due to NZ Post or the USPS, but when I contacted WNW they were very helpful in sending new decals.  Since I live in California the usual time between ordering and receiving isn't that long a wait.  In fact, the last kit I got arrived in 1 week total time which included a day held up in customs in LA.

I have had only one kit go missing and Dave and his team did an awesome job and sent a replacement. While I have fondled the plastic many a time it is still in the box waiting to be built.

If it wasn't for US Customs I would have my kit in three days. Usually it sits in Customs longer than it took to ship the kit.
