The last I heard from Joe was last Wednesday, stating there was a delay from GVP. He said at that time they would be shipped Thursday, but I have heard nothing since.

Did anyone here back from Joe on Thursday or friday confirming shipment? Or did another Week pass and no boards? I did e-mail him requesting a full refund on Saturday (yesterday)  if they were not shipped.but so far no news back.

Above is the post from another thread informing of my communication with Joe.

The Dawg

I meant since then.... Joe has sent those same e-mails (with different dates) at least 4 times now. It seems always the same, Wednesday or Thursday he will get them in, and nothing. No follow up untill a few weeks later, when you e-mail him again.

I have spent thousands with Joe and never had a problem.  I would say that the manufacturing problems are most likely out of his control and there is nothing he can do to rush their completion, or resolve the delay, but he is trying to minimize any possible losses from people demanding refunds, so his communications have been sparse perhaps.  He took a chance by paying up front to have the boards made and might not break even if too many people back out of their orders.


@amigadave.
I understand your point, we all know what Joe has done in the past, and Joe's reputation is not on trail here, but at what point is it no longer acceptable to wait for a product that is delayed? 2 months, 6 Months, 12 years? (man, I am STILL waiting for my Intellivision keyboard from Mattel- the original one that the Intellivision slid into-Black Whale).

Coupled with the fact, that since I had ordered it, another accelerator card literally fell into  my lap, leads me to the fact, that I am waiting for a card (now over 2 months) that once I receive, I am just going to turn around and sell to try and get my money back that way.
I am sure Joe has more than enough people on his list, that if I received a refund, this card would go out and not sit on a shelf somewhere.
