I hope one of them is mine.

I received an email that a package was shipped to me by CC on Agust 11, 2008. However, I still have to received it.

This was the information I have:


I finally bit the bullet and called CC last Friday midnight (Japan Time, Friday 10:00 am Kansas time) and talked to Christie regarding my replacement MMM because I did not receive a reply when I pm'ed you about it. Christie told me that there is a little problem and she hoped that CC will continue shipping them again by Tuesday. She tried tracking and looking into your books and can't even tell me if I was on the list of people who will be receiving one.

17 1/2 years in the Navy made me a very patient person but if I have to spend more money on international phone calls (Japan to U.S.) because you can't even reply my pm, then this is bullshit.

All I want to know is, was there a MMM V2 shipped to me? If so, when and what type of shipping.

Here's my mailing address:

JOSELITO LUCAS
PSC 475 BOX 1537
FPO AP 96350-1537

Here are my phone numbers if you want to talk to me:
01181-46-896-4035 (home)

01181-46-816-5683 (office)

Edit - It's 6:30 Thursday morning here so you can call me if you have time.

Thanks.

Ummm, we ran a check yesterday, and our failure rate on the V2 is pretty normal for a new product. In fact, the Mamba Max had almost double the failure rate in early runs as the MMM.

This is for two reasons -- first, people are using setups that aren't right -- and are damaging motors and ESCs because they don't know yet what combos actually work right (we have seen many of these at tech support here.) Second reason is that there are higher failure rates on products early from just manufacturing defects -- we tend to have a few more failures early on 'cause we don't yet know what to look for when looking for common defects (every product has something...)

Also, please note we have built ALREADY six times more V2 MMM than V1 MMM.... (almost 3000 have shipped already) So there is going to be a LOT more reports of issues, just from the sheer numbers.

Shipped on the 11th. No problem as far as I can tell in the computer, it actually went to the post office on the 11th. Priority mail.


Edit: Just talked with our shipping dept -- this is always a problem using US Mail apparently, they often don't update their own systems. It did ship on Aug 11th, and I'm having our shipping dept. start a Post office track on this end.

Also, even shipping from the same store mine always seem to go take a different route from the shop to whatever airport they decide to use, so don't get to worried about your parcel, it'll come :)

I've recently had some shocking holdups in customs, with most of my parcels taking over a month to arrive - maybe something similar is happening there?

Unfortunately, it does not work that way in the US military. Our packages do not go through Japanese customs because the Military bases outside the US are considered part of the continental US for mailing and shipping purposes. We don’t pay any customs duties or fees. That’s the main advantage of military mail system. The US Navy has itsr own postal clerks that do the job of regular post office employees. Our packages and mail are shipped to the San Francisco Post Office for distribution to the different bases/commands in the Pacific region. For mainland Japan, the mails and packages leaves San Francisco via air to the Yokohama Mail distribution Depot for further distribution to the different bases.

To add insult to injury, I just received a package containing revo parts I bought from an ebay seller located in Winsted, CT. It was shipped USPS Priority on Aug 18, 2008.

That’s about 9-10 days and CT is farther from San Francisco than Kansas :no::no::no::no:.

While your mail may not go through the international customs office, packages of certain weight and value still require customs documentation from the shipper and do pass through customs in certain respects. A small package that is very light and has a low value will pass through rather quickly and undetected(no delay), but a larger package with a $100 value or more will potentially take longer - Aside from that, priority mail isn't nearly foolproof. I have had packages take 5 days to get here via priotrity mail and other packages take 2 days via priority mail from the same place. Just FYI - I do tend to ship a lot pf packages, so I am pretty familiar with the ins and outs. :)
