When will my Makelangelo 2 ship?

I ordered 4 different sets of parts from china three weeks ago. China Air mail package tracking (if you can find one that works) only says “shipment has left the country.” Not as thorough as I’m sure you’re used to, right?

Two boxes arrived yesterday. The first is half of a shipment of USB cables. The second had 1000 bobbins with white thread. I’m putting one in each kit so you can get set up painlessly.

The other two packages were ordered at the same time have the servos for the pen lifter and the female headers for the power to the motor shield. Fingers crossed they arrive today. That would mean every part is now in store and packages can start flowing out in the order customers purchased – longest waiting people first. If you see an email from us soon, it’s probably got your Canada Post tracking number.

I’m ecstatic and delighted that sales are rising, viewers are increasing, and the business part of this job is getting easier. It’s given me more time to focus on customer service and refining my technique.

Speaking of which, I’m going to start running predictive analysis on my inventory so I can order ahead and not run out of key components. Making people wait is the part of my job that sucks. Do you have any experience with that sort of thing? I’d love some advice.

Most importantly, thank you for your patience and support. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You let me live my dream and I only hope I can return the favor.
