Hey all...
I'm very sorry that I haven't posted in a while, but I honestly just got home (been out since 6:30AM EST) and have been spending every free minute I have to getting these packages out. I spent all Saturday and some of Sunday salvaging the ordered salvaged diodes... and then the result is a bunch of diodes in AixiZ modules (Which I am out of now! :'()... What was left is bagging, wrapping, packaging, numbering, and checking, and double checking, then closing, then labeling, then sending to post office!
On Sunday night I shipped out close to 50 packages packed with BR's and Phazors. I have a bunch left (Both BR and Phazors). For all those who did get an e-mail informing you of the shipment, you got lucky for 2 reasons...
1. You are domestic
2. You didn't have a 'special' order
By 'special' I mean it didn't require any out-of-the-ordinary requests, requirements, or special handling instructions. What is also categorized as 'special' are ones where people haven't replied back to e-mails about the price increase and ones that I have not received payments from. (This obviously excludes all Phazor orders, thank you very much
).
The schedule for getting back on track is not clear as of yet... I have had a super hectic week at work where I've been forced to go early and come home late every day... and so no work on the rest of the packages has been done as of yet (except for some communications and verification of orders still here).
The International packages should be out very soon (there are only a few of these), and that will also include all the 'special' orders which will be cleared up either through refunds, further waiting, or the special instructions fulfilled...
If I have an order from you, and you have paid all your dues, you will get your items... guaranteed. I always try to get orders out within a week or 2 at the maximum. I managed to get out more than half within 2 days of getting the items in, but I still don't feel good enough about it :-[
Salvages honestly take a long time and a lot of patience. I do not rush the process at all. All diodes are checked prior to moving onto the next one. I go through the entire process one by one to make sure I give each and every diode the attention it requires to get it up and running 100%. All diodes are tested until lasing, once a full lasing pattern is displayed, the power is turned down. The test driver goes through 5 steps to limit current and voltage, maxing both out at 5V 40mA regardless of what could happen. Relatively, no discharge is possible because the driver is shorted out and not powered while the next diode is being salvaged. Most of the 'error' happens due to the AixiZ modules and the occasional "simply dead" diode. Please note that all my equipment is ESD safe. The several times that I was asked to revise previously killed diodes it was a result of a bad diode from the manufacturer or just a bad driver. Some might recall a user that killed more than 6 diodes a couple GB's ago because the driver was powered while the diodes were being attached... BIG mistake! (Worse was asking for a refund :-?)
With that said... thank you all for your patience. Please feel free to rant about anything you need over here and rest assured that I WILL read it ASAP. All orders are on their way to you, or are getting ready to be on their way to you... unless you didn't pay of course
