    Mine recently took a month or perhaps a tad more. They were still reporting as sent from Ukraine, right up to them suddenly on my doorstep.

    Did I care that they took ages - several months as the package was originally mis-addressed and went back to the Ukraine? No. Most of the world is utterly hosed right now. Shipping anywhere is a total mess. New headphone deliveries are not really up there on my list of priorities.

    Yeah, it'll get a new tracking no. from Postnord at some point, maybe, hopefully. My package from abroad hasn't turned up either, and tracking shows it's left the senders country (outside EU), so I suspect the issue is on Postnords end.

    Scratch that, my tracking no was reused for Postnord and I can now track via their web site. They're probably overloaded as others have mentioned.

    Mate, we're in the middle of a global pandemic with the SARS virus. Give it time, things are all over the place and will be for many more months. Customs are already slow with this added mess it's going to be slower unfortunately.

    There are 80 pages here, there are tons of impressions and you have a lot to read: Don't expect others to search for you here.

    Yep. Shipping time now in almost all countries increased dramatically. And I can't do anything with it. What I can - assemble them as fast as I can (but without sacrificing quality).
    Now I'm finishing March orders. Next week will start April.
    That pandemic affect my work very significantly. But i'll soon increasy productivity.
    In fact i've assembled cups for almost all orders. Now stuck with headband parts, but in a week or two situation will be solved and i'll finish assembling very quickly.

    p.s. Thanks for support and not being mad for delays (in most cases :D) ! I hope I've proved that running away with money is not an option for me ;)

    My Verum 1 finally arrived this week (ordered end of January).

    The packaging was a little worse for wear:

    but the headphones were untouched by the journey and sound great!

    I had 2 options: 1) ship headphones in steel crate 2) make them durable.
    You know what I've chosen ;)

    For option 1 the post would do theirs best to show it can be damaged.
    So 2 is a better choice ;)

    Has anyone receiving in the US needed to pay any customs fees?

    @Meh if you wouldn't mind, how long did shipping take from ship date to arrival? trying to get an idea when mine will be here. If you're in USA anyway, forgot about that.

    I don't care if Z gets one to review, it's just not relevant to sbaf.

    Hello guys. Small update - i've solved (almost as usual :D) my manufacturing problems and now producing April orders. In fact I've already assembled all cups for all orders. Making headbands and earpads. Even raw material (leather) for earpads was a problem. I think within a week or two I should finish April orders and go to May.
    Also, as you all know I LOVE your feedback.
    One of the problems that users of any headphones with leather comfort strap are complaining is a pressure in one point aka hot spot. I've thinked about it, tried different headphones. But what if... we'll make a hole at hot spot area?

    I don't know how it looks for you but it is really a more comfortable solution. Though I need to experiment with size and proportions of cutout so i will not implement it soon but it is something to think about. Also it is a tip for anyone who owns headpohnes with simillar strap. You can try to make a copy of original headstrap buy yourself but with simillar cutout.
    Comments and advices are welcome ;)
