baldormoline[501st] Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Some time in January, February or March. They got plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T K[501st] Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Be patient. Haha, they told me that they'd ship mine in November (2015), go it in February (2016). it will be here before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Anovos pretty much ships on their own schedule. In the meantime, I would concentrate on the various build threads available here, especially Tony's (ukswrath) which has become the "go-to" site for Anovos builds. Hopefully you will be aiming for EIB and Centurion level, (not that hard to do). Here are a few tips: 1. While Anovos has a fantastic holster, the canvas belt that comes with it is,... uhhh.. garbage. Check out the "For sale" section and get a quality one. 2. Don't be tempted to use the Velcro strapping system that comes with it. Velcro wears out over time with use, so I would go with the snap system. If you need details on this, just PM me. 3. While waiting for Big Brown Box day, get all of your build supplies in order. I have a thread that can help: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31404-supply-list-for-your-tk-build/ 4. When your kit arrives, start a build thread with photos. Most of us (including myself) had a lot of questions, and if you should have any, a picture really is worth a thousand words. 5. Know that we are here to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Fox[TK] Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 At the rate they are going? I would guess August or September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echnate[TK] Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Maybe I just got lucky. I ordered a complete ANH TK kit in April last year and I got it two weeks later. I guess with all of the new kits they are making for the latest movies they are probably taking on a lot more than they are used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikileitr Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I ordered mine in August, with the Q1 estimate. Hopefully I'll get it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarok[TK] Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 FWIW I read on the Anovos FB build group of someone Sydney (Australia) based who ordered in mid-August and had their TK kit shipped in November (IIRC). Based on their history this was probably the exception rather than the norm. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyluvz Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I ordered my TK in August and I would just be happy if I get it and have it completed before the next SW Celebration. I've heard stories of horrible delays with Anovos. However, I have been looking at the threads too so I could hit the ground running when it comes. Ukswrath's "Go-To" is an amazing thread!

Bevs1865[TK] Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I started doing the payment plan back in June/July, decided to pay it off in August. So far nothing on this end, but there's still time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikidymac[TK] Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Also as of the Shadow Trooper release the shins are still numbered wrong. Check yours twice when it arrives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarok[TK] Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Anovos still sticking to the party line regarding shipping in Q1 2017. Screen shot taken this morning (AEST). Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Alas, "this quarter" could easily be March 31st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarok[TK] Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Exactly. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett803[TK] Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 haha, im glad to see im not the only one chatting with Anovos, I bet they are tired of me talking to them for weekly updates.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarok[TK] Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I feel for their customer service staff. Fans can be a real PITA to deal with, but if they communicated better and held true to their commitments, the number of queries could be minimised. The customer experience is not great. By this stage I'd expect us all to be receiving at least an estimated week of despatch. Perhaps my expectations are too high.

sylverbard[TK] Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 They aren't the problem. They said q1. Thats not over. The problem is impatient people flooding them with tickets and complaining it takes too long for a response. I'd love to work for their call centre. Talk time averages would be a minute, most promised times are 5-7, so the bonuses would be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett803[TK] Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I talked to Anovos customer chat yesterday and got a different answer than I had been getting. instead of the "it is still on schedule for Q1 delivery" they said that the kits were en route and will be shipping in march. I guess that's kind of the same thing, but it just sounded like it will be soon if they can hold the delivery date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 When ever a company says Q1 or H1 or something like that always take it as they will use every single day of that time. I remember with my kit people were getting upset as it was due "Winter 2015", but the Winter of 2015 will run well into 2016. In that case it was Feb 2016 when it shipped. Vague timescales are important for a company like this that is reliant on exported labour which then has to be transported across an ocean before final distribution. All of which is hard to control and liable to delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
