Shure E500's - May or June?

[stopa]

I agree with that. Faster update will cure the communication problem. At least get back to our questions within 24 hours, and we won't feel worried about our orders.

Thanks Todd, although I have this unpleasant first time buying experience, I'll say I'll buy from you again.

Todd, sorry for all the rant that I had on you. You're doing all of us who got the E500 for $395 a great deal. Keep up the good work, cause you got yourself a returning customer.

I wish that I could say the same, I ordered on 07 August, 2006, still waiting.
This isn’t easy, whatever happened to the UE XXX ??, Was that vapor ware???
I feel like I should just wait for that product now!

I know you're frustrated now like I was one week ago. But look at the bright side, Todd pulled out the $100 off coupon from his site (guess he's too pissed off from our complains), that makes you one of the last people who got E500 cheap. I think this is the introductory price for the first batch of E500, so you shouldn't be seeing E500 for under $400 for a few months.

So May or June rolls on to August, September...? Meanwhile, the words "next week" begin to sound like the radio each morning on Groundhog Day. Todd's site talks about delivery in 1-2 weeks possibly less!

Or, more correctly: probably more...

I know Todd is well respected and loved on these forums. This is my first transaction with him. I've dealt with Headroom before and they were very professional. They claim 2-4 weeks on these cans which sounds more accurate. Here's the rub: their honesty has diverted me towards TTVJ. And for that, I cry foul. It's too late to change horses so let's hope that this gets sorted out soon.

I spoke to Todd yesterday: some e500s came in this week and were sent out to those who had already placed orders prior to this week. Another batch is coming in next week to fulfill the more recent orders. It seems many delays for all of the retailers, HR, Todd, etc have been due to short supply from Shure itself.

Nanahachi:
did Todd specifically mention "prior to this week"? I ordered mine Aug 5th and still no notification and status on the website says "pending"

i dont want to speak for todd, but he did say he was trying to fill the older orders first, then would fill the newer ones. Basically, people who ordered first will get theirs first

Thx for the feedback Nanahachi. Does that mean I'll be getting mine "next week"? :blink: Only kidding...

I'm past worrying now and well past excited. I'll be relieved to just get them in the end. I'm using ER-4P (which are beauties btw) so these better be worth the wait and beat the etys.

I don't hold Todd responsible for any of the delays. My issue is trust, reliability, honesty and so on. All those are within a retailer's control.

I've rung his office from Asia several times and went to answering machine. Sent a few e-mails. So far only one reply early on with the famous "next week" line.

I'll be stuffed if they come in "tomorrow"!!! :etysmile:

I got a notification from toddy earlier today saying that my order (for E500) was shipped. I ordered on 8/5... well I placed my first order back in July but had to cancel the order and reorder again due to some unforeseened circumstances.
