MK3 IS SHIPPING!  

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

Do I get bumped up in the queue since I didn't bother customer support, not even once?

You mean except for this one time? ^_^

Absolutely

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

I keep wondering why my place in the spreadsheet list keeps moving back .. I started out at 71 then was moved to 170 and now I am at 174. seems like something ugly is going on here... anyone care to explain?

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

I'm pretty sure there is a script that runs periodically that sorts the list according to order date. So, someone with an earlier order date must have added their info.

Also, don't forget this is not an official Prusa document. It is user-created and maintained.

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

May I ask why shipping has been stopped ? Last labels were created December 21 but not shipped since then

I'm guessing this is at least partly to blame.

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

yeah, makes sense. Let them enjoy their well-deserved days off 😉

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

I'm just wondering,
Would it save you guys time and effort to offer printer kits without printed parts? maybe just keep the price the same and give the option for a extra roll of filament instead of the printed parts?
Because a lot of customers have a printer already and many even a MK2 and wouldn't mind to print the parts themselves. 😀

Also interested in this as an option, desperate to get my MK3 estimated March for me.....ouch!

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

I have ordered my Prusa I3 mk3 kit in October, when the Prusa Website advertised it as due to start shipping in November. Then November became LATE November, then December, then January, then late January, etc. I'm fet ups with the constant lies and marketing hype from Prusa. But it makes sense, Joe Prusa is more about Marketing hype than anything else.

Before this Sunday January 14th, my Prusa Kit was displayed as due to ship this week,that is the week of January 15th. Then precisely one day before, on Sunday 14th, that information got updated from the 15th, to the 29th. Take that dear customer. And if it were not the 4th time such new delays had happened since I had ordered.

Several e-mails I got from Prusa Support staff imply they knew form the begining it was going to ship end of November, but when I had ordered, it said November, not late November. Therefore a blatant lie, designed to mislead clients just to get their orders locked in. Anyhow, we are no longer counting the lies from Prusa Research, are we ?

For less than the price of the Prusa kit which never arrived, I have ordered a Flogertech FT-5 R2 (which has just arrived, only several days after ordering), and also ordered a Bondtech extruder straight from Sweden, an E3D hotend straight from E3D, and a Duet WIFI with TMC2660 integrated drivers over SPI > all of which have arrived less than one week after having ordered, perhaps Joe Prusa could get some tips from all these guys on how to run an efficient business, rather than spending all his time Marketing and clowning on Youtube. Certainly, it works, I fell for it myself, but one only falls to it once.

PS. Had Prusa been honest about delivery times, and had they shown in October a delivery time for January, I may have ordered, or I may not have ordered, but I would never have been frustrated about it. Actually, it is probable I would have ordered and waited. But it is the constant lies, delays, the drip by drip information, which were really too much (BECAUSE THEY ARE PLAIN LIES DESIGNED SIMPLY TO GET CUSTOMERS TO SUBSIDIZE PRUSA'S ROLLING STOCK) There a banks for this, or Kickstarter, no need to lie to customers ! I was very sympathetic to Joe's case against PayPal. But now I really wonder whether PayPal had not a valid reason to be suspicious about Prusa's cash-flows and business practices. It seems actually that they did have a valid point, and that Joe Prusa is a great comedian on YouTube.

You probably should have ordered an MK2S then.

In case you have questions regarding shipping date of your order, please refer to the shipping table (Order details in your account) on our eshop shop.prusa3d.com

This shipping table is currently out of date? Would be nice if it could be updated more frequently (last update 14th Jan), even if it's to push dates back (again).

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

Since January is almost done, is there an update on the powder-coated beds? Did they start shipping or is there a new ETA?

I second this. Im currently checking for updates every other day to find out how far along the shipping has come.
If possible, please update the shipping table. 🙂

Why is there no information about this? Not much left of January.

The order history page has been updated with: (emphasis mine)
Please note we're currently shipping all orders with smooth PEI "sticker" spring steel sheet (the same excellent surface as MK2 is using, just double-sided and on removable magnetic bed). If you want to receive your printer with textured powder-coated spring steel sheet, please contact us and we'll hold your order until late February 2018 when they're expected to be available.

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

Week 45 November 6, 2017 - November 12, 2017 From February 5, 2018 From February 5, 2018
Week 46 November 13, 2017 - November 19, 2017 From February 5, 2018 From February 5, 2018

Re: MK3 IS SHIPPING!

I’m in week 48. I was bumped from Feb 5th to the 12th in the last update, so I’m really happy that the new update holds the line. Also, I knew before I even placed the order that I would eventually get a spare bed, so the slip in the powder-coated sheet only means I get that spare sheet at a discount.

Thank you, PR, for the update to the shipping information.
