Otto's Armoury Backorder List

[Otto]

e-mail sent to John Chamberlain regarding his order.

[Garick]

Confirmed! I'm glad he mentioned it here, as I rarely check my webmail. My order is pretty dang large, but it is also intended as loaner armor, so if anyone needs their gear to get on the field, please pipe up here and I will be happy to give you my spot in the line.

[Otto]

Garick/John... I'm going to keep these in order at this point so as not to confuse matters even more.
Thanks for offering though. I should be able to ship the beginning items of your order within 2 weeks, give or take.

[Garick]

Fair enough. I can understand just wanting to plug through it in order. Glad to see it's moving.

[Otto]

Note: Mr. Chamberlain's order contains 3 helms, 4 sets elbows, 2 sets spaulders, and 2 gorgets... so it's gonna take me a couple weeks to finish.

[Pitbull Armory]

GO OTTO!

[Arrakis]

We believe in you!

[Otto]

Partial shipment of John Chamberlain's order going out today 3-14-2012. More to come within 1 week.

[Garick]

Confirmed! 2 gorgets and a pair of elbows recieved this weekend.

Glad to see you're working though it, Otto.

Cheers,
Garick

Next batch is the celtic helm and another pair of elbows... should be on it's way this week.

You still out there, Otto? Haven't heard anything in a while, and after I got the first shipment, one of the new guys is really looking forward to checking out the celtic helm, as his armor got stolen and he's currently fighting in an old flat-top.

[FinnO]

Hello Otto,

Thanks for keeping the list. My wife, Amy Rottier, had placed an order for our son. Before you get to us, please contact me at Finn67@gmail.com. He has grown since our order so his helm will need to be a little bigger. Thanks for keeping the list together. Liam, my son asks every once in a while.

[Bernhart von Bruck]

Well, I didn't get anything new for my 3rd Anni, but I did clean my leather bracers. Does that count?

[Ulven Thorbjörn]

My name isn't up there and I supposedly bought something that was in over stock and already made?

[Ulven Thorbjörn]

Can you please simply refund my money it has become apparent that you have chosen not to send the product that you said you had in stock so I ordered from you. And if you have please accept my apology, and I need the tracking number as I have STILL NOT received my item.

[Bernhart von Bruck]

Welcome to the club.

[Otto]

Ulven, I trust you have received your gorget by now... sorry for the delay.

Coming VERY soon, this travesty (of my own making) is going to change!

[Arrakis]

Great to hear from you.

[Otto]

Yeah, I'm still slouching around. Words from me seem to be nothing but hot air... let's see if I can actually DO something this time.

[Sergeant Marli]

What is your plan Otto?

[Otto]

My plan?... my plan is to man up and start doing my dang work!

Am I still screwed up from the top down? sure... but that isn't going to stop me from making my best effort.

[Otto]

I've got 2 sets of spaulders, 3 sets of elbows, and a celtic helm all ready to go... most of that to Garick...

Now, I've got to sell a few small things to scrape up some shipping and supplies money... not to mention refund money. That'll be on a seperate thread.

[Garick]

Second batch recieved today. 2 sets elbows and 2 sets spaulders. Nice to see it moving. One set of elbows already on a local newbie.

Correct that to 3 sets of elbows. I noticed the third when I took a set of spaulders out for another local newbie and realized I'd mis-counted.

[Caemgen mac Garbith]

Maybe an updated list?

[Hilstad]

Does anyone have an alternative method to contact the member that started this thread "Otto"? If so could you please tell me in a private message?

I paid for an order through him over two weeks ago and since then I have not been able to get a response from him through this board or his email. Everyone else who claims to have purchased from him in the past seem very pleased with his services, so I wish to believe that this is some usual situation that may be beyond his control until proven otherwise.

Two Weeks ago? Try 3+years. Back of the line buck-o.

[SirHrothgar]

Hey Otto,

I just want my money since it's been over three years now for the helm.

Sir Hrothgar

Shipping to Washington is going to be $30... so you're total bill is $155.
I take it you'll be paying by Paypal?

[Otto]

Hilstad, your stuff has been mailed, though a bit late. It does take a bit of extra time for shipments to travel to Canada from the US, please remember.

I'm still working on the restock thing... hard to make much progress without supplies.

Please note, I will honor ALL old orders with armour or refunds as I'm able. I'm doing my best not to just disappear like so many others who got screwed up. Please bear with me as I'm poor as a church mouse... my "normal" job doesn't pay enough to get by so I have to sell some armour each month to make ends meet... and if I get past that point, I can work on the backlog items.

I know my excuses are not satisfying, but I'm doing what I can.

[Pitbull Armory]

Keep plugging away otto, took me a long time to get my backorder list gone, You will feel alot better when its not hanging over you anymore.

Have a good weekend

Pitbull

[accdntprone]

Offer to help stands. I know you feel that you got yourself into this and should get yourself out, but you have helped me out in the past. Hell, I use the spangen pattern you gave me to this day, and Im using the books you gave me to help teach my son (who made his first helm the other day)

[Halberds]

Looks like he could use some help.

What's almost definitely going to happen at this point is that
a) I'm going to keep trying to push and make progress on my work so that I can catch up some old stuff
b) when I get taxes back (not far off now) I'm going to use them to fund as many refunds as possible and finally be able to restock some steel and rivets

there will be movement on this list again... soon.
