Ok, I went back and read comments and emails, and I think I’ve got it.
1. They flat out lied about parcels being lost. They (1.3) were never shipped. Unless they had something being shipped to them lost, there is no other way to interpret this.
2. The story about their system being down was likely another lie. They were stalling. Unless by system they meant them as a company, and in that case I’d say they’re still down.
3. They were packing fragile items was probaldly another lie. They were stalling. Or maybe some of the items are fragile, and they were packing those, but it was still a stall since they still didn’t have the rest of the box to pack.
4. Stuff being in customs may be true, may be false. Not enough information yet. But they did say that we would have new tracking numbers by the end of the week- not boxes would be shipped by the end of the week.
5. They are refusing to email subscribers en masse to tell them what is going on. I have absolutely NO idea why. Neither does anyone else.
6. In the middle of box time, they sold another box. This box has shipped to some people, but not others. Inside the box were some items they said were for 1.3, and some items from past boxes- aka items they had in stock because they were selling them in their website.
So, now that I’ve listed the facts (as I see them), I have three theories.
1) They (incorrectly) think it is better to stall and smoke screen subscribers while they are desperately trying to get the box out, with good reasons for the delay, and do intend and will get the box out. OR
2) They didn’t handle their money well/it cost them more than they expected to get the first two boxes out, so they didn’t have enough funds to buy what they needed for the third box, so they sold some extra boxes to get some cash, ordered late, and are desperately trying to cover themselves for being in the weeds, but fully intend to follow through and get the boxes out, and will do so. OR
3) They decided at some point to walk away. They sold what stock they had in the Mother’s Day box, but didn’t send them all out because they ran out of stock. Now they are sending out messages as needed to try to delay people from filing with their cc until after the deadline, so they have to return as little money as possible. Posts are automatically updating from past work, not actively being posted by a person. Responses to inquiries are designed to delay cc filing at all cost.
This will be my first ouiplease box. I am super excited to get it. That’s all any one of us wants- to be their customer.
