I only found out after the longest estimated shipping date had passed, and I repeatedly chased.
It's a real shame - I understand Paul's a 'one man band' and his products are good, but I think a bit of modernisation might be in order... It's really making me regret not ordering an LPS-1 to be honest. Oh well, let's just hope it ships by its new estimated date.
Delayed how long? I have to say that I initially felt a little negative towards the LPS-1, but over on CA it does appear to be getting universaly positive comments, so now I'm tempted. I was going to suggest you vote with your feet and cancel the Paul Hynes, but I'm guessing you've paid a huge deposit, plus I think it will be an excellent piece of kit when it does finally arrive, a lot neater than a PSU that needs an LPSU to power it.
Estimated at a week. That's after 4 weeks.
Deposit?! You pay upfront.
And while there's a chance to return after evaluation if you're not happy, you can't cancel after ordering as parts are ordered in against it. So said the order confirmation or an email along the way somewhere.
Ok, I'm probably being a bit impatient, but because of the other threads I came across after ordering it (you know the ones) I emailed to check things were on schedule and was told 'yes, at this stage'. Mmmm. I'm just panicking in advance I suppose having read the history. I mean I knew it wasn't Amazon, but.... I sense the numerous caveats in Paul's lead times kind of mean he never has to stick to them.
Maybe it's just reading LPS-1 reviews making me more impatient! Like you say I'm sure it will be great when it arrives.
