Patches are now available(ish)

[proffrink]

So apparently Royal Mail have managed to lose my patches twice.

Have you received these yet? I've sent out three waves since your post. Sent you a PM in case.

Is it buying patches that show you as a supporter of the forum? If so, is it an annual purchase required? 

Edit: because I used to show as a supporter, and now I dont

Buying a patch doesn't make you a supporter I'm afraid. We culled a lot of the group too of people who hadn't signed in for some time, but I wouldn't be able to say if you're in that group or not as there aren't any logs. Supporters are selected by existing supporters every few years but it's just a meaningless title of recognition for being a long term contributor.

You should get a marker under your name to show yourself as a patch owner. I'll see why this isn't showing up (possibly the plugin was out of date and therefore disabled).

Haha afuk are easily bought lol.

Don't remind me about the Novrisch background mistake I made

Any ETA on the next batch? Ordered one in Jan

 

[TacticalWaifu]

I'd also be interested to know what the backlog / action time is atm (little point rushing to order if patch orders from 6 months ago haven't been fulfilled yet...)

Paging @proffrink to this thread... This thread, @proffrink, thank you! ?

 

[Scythian]

Just ordered one?

 

[Downloadvfx]

There isn't much point in rushing to order if patch orders from six months ago haven't been filled, so I'd also need to know what the backlog / action time is at the moment.

 

[b0dhi]

Yeah Im still waiting on mine from Jan...

 

[RebelScum]

Do we have any update on the patches?  I ordered mine back in June (23), but not a peep since.  I understand the logic of batch dispatching, but literally how many orders do we need to get to before it's worth the effort?  I do like the web patch, but I'd prefer the real thing.

 

[DanBow]

Still waiting for mine from a couple of months ago too. 

 

[RebelScum]

Any update on the great delivery mystery?  I don't seem to have much luck with patches as I'm still waiting on a Gold UKAPU patch as well, although that's getting on for 3 years and still not sorted...  To be honest a 6-month turnaround is not great and I wonder if we're all being too patient???

Also waiting on patch from April 23. ?

 

[DanBow]

I messaged @proffrinkabout a month ago, asking for an update but it hasnt been read yet.

I pinged him a message within the last week, I don't think he's seen it either.

He was online 16 hours ago so we're just being ignored! 

Cany any mods get involved and, at least, give us an update?

 

[RebelScum]

@proffrink - any chance of an update please?  If it had been an airsoft retailer that had taken money and not sent out goods everyone would be playing merry hell on the forum.  I thought June 2023 was bad but some members have been waiting a lot longer.  I have to ask where the money has gone if the patches haven't been sent out? 

 

[b0dhi]

Still havent gotten mine from January 2023 ?

Bit out of order that admin aren't responding to this thread even though they have in others.

Be patient grasshopper. Things will happen in the fullness of time. Wait and all that you desire will become one with you. ?

All for the positive vibes, but peeps have handed over cash a year ago, Admin have been linked,  replies to other threads have been made, and not even an acknowledgement of the requests for an update.

Yet we have the very entertaining Macks dreamers thread.  As THE forum for seasoned players and newbies, I would hope we represented the respectable side of the hobby.  Wanted or not, the forum admin/owners really need to step up on this one, even if we are only dealing with a few fivers here and there.

I did a charity T shirt fundraiser for the Tsunami in Japan years ago when I was an Admin of a Jap car club that ran to a fair chunk of money.  Transparency of the funds was of upmost importance.  I even DMd pics of envelopes and addresses as part of proof of postage.  I might even have the spreadsheet somewhere  LOL.

Now if you don't mind,  I have 20 minutes left of Navy Seals to watch and I am desperately trying to think of a reason not to buy myself a TM MP5  for my birthday. ?

There is no reason not to buy yourself an MP5! 

 

[RebelScum]

Anyone know how to post up a poll, as I'm genuinely interested to see how many fivers we are talking about here and how long people have been waiting.  Given all the advice on the forum about how to dispute payments when retailers don't send out something that's been paid for I'm really amazed at the patience that's been displayed here by forum members and that no-one has yet disputed this.  I know, it's only a patch, but that's not really the point.  Is it really that tricky or time-consuming to deal with this?  If there are no patches or otherwise some other reason why some members don't see them for a year, then let everyone know and stop taking the money...
