When will I get my rings?
-
I re-read Lokki post above and I should get titanium replacements for my two classic rings...are these Alpha rings? ( my order was for 2 black rings 12.5 and 13 with black inlays ) originally one was an Alpha but then was changed to classic. If my issue is not a problem with the Alpha umm where the hell are they at? 2 classic rings in titanium seem awfully close to the pre-order rings that are available...
A collection is three rings, what about the people who ordered just 2 rings are they in the same boat as collections? The assumption is yes, but I have learned better to ask than assume.
Keep on keeping on gentlemen, any word on when pre-orders might start to go out just recently the screen changed and it now said arriving in July, or is it Late June? I pre-ordered my brother a ring and am curious if he will get it before he deploys out of the country.
If you would be so kind as to let me know it might help others like me in the same boat.

Hi @Zackis. I think it's safest to simply lump all multiple ring orders in together with the collections, they'll be subject to the same problems if on a lesser scale. One ring may have come through and then the other not for whatever reason. Then you get to play the waiting game while China's Factory of Care and Loving Attention to Detail murders the replacement on a regular basis.
It's likely that there is already a single ring set aside for 'Zackis' which is waiting for a friend before being shipped, just bear in mind that PVD rings were the single most popular choice and when they were dropped that made every replacement available the single most popular choice, decimating the stock which had been held aside for preorders/replacements and whatnot. So the guys will have had to order more to cover replacements and preorders, leaving the battle with QA to slow things down again. -
@Lokki I thought as much, and you confirmed my thoughts as well. On the good side, the information is more than what I had before Friday.
With the better clarification and info I certainly get a better idea that truly I will actually get something because believe it or not everyone I work with and know is 100% convinced I wont get anything...ever. Fighting that type of inertia every day is tough on the customer when every time they ask ( Did you get your ring) I have to say no...
-
@Zackis, yeah that kind of pessimism is pretty ridiculous. I mean, why would that ever be the case... rings are being delivered constantly, so those ones who are messing with you like that are doing it purely for their own entertainment. Got to make you wonder why no one can be positive for someone else these days, as a race we're becoming a pretty selfish bunch for the most part.

Are there any more updates on when I may get my rings?
-
John posted that they'd received a batch early, QA'd most of them successfully and are busy picking and packing! It's in the main comments section at kickstarter.

-
@Lokki I got a message on Twitter saying I would get an email or something yesterday but nothing turned up :(
-
howdy, @hshah. Give them a little longer, 'today' is a relatively fluid concept when you're in different timezones. If you don't hear from them in the next 12 hours lets say, I'll give someone a nudge.

Just wanted to update @Lokki and others that I received the ring I per-ordered in June (around the 19th or so) this Thursday ( july 3rd ) I also saw a message that potentially my two ring order may be coming, no e-mail on that yet.
I've been playing around with the S4 phone and the heat map is pretty accurate. I will be trying it out on other devices as soon as I get back to the lab where I work.
The good:
I got a ring hallelujah! Thank goodness I got a ring to use!The so-so:
As expected it will not scan through my Mophie case, this was expected.. but irritating.The ugly:
I got the single preorder ring in less than 3 weeks, still no sign of the KS rings, as of the 13th of July that would be almost 1 year to the day. I say this not to incite people's anger just simpl that yes it'll take a while but they are indeed making rings and sending them out to people. Hang in there! -
@Zackis what was your KS order?
-
Good to see there's people still waiting and it's not just me. :)
I got the limited send email back in January about only having details for one of my rings and I was entitled to 3 rings, (since I backed The Collection early) so I replied to that with the information, and got it confirmed by Bret. That's the last email I got from anyone; never did get the "yesterday" email John mentioned in his 28 JUN 14 update (I've got all of the emails sent still, so I know they don't go to anywhere but my inbox), so I just emailed to make sure I didn't get lost in the system somehow. I figured having the stealth ring (and all of my inlays were white/carbon) would put me in the delayed group, but figured I'd hear something at some point.
That, or making size 13 rings took so much material they still had to source it. hah.

Hi @evilrobert, looks like you got a multiple whammy there with the partial order, a cf change, a stealth change and having one of the less common ring sizes into the bargain! @NFCringTom or @johnyma22 might be able to help out with the missed email if they get a moment.

then it's probably the time to send a kind message to support@nfcring.com
please keep in mind that they receive a ton of messages and it can take some time until you get an answer -
@Lafunamor a two ring set...:
Normal (Classic) Ring in Black Plated Metal with a Black top inlay cover and a Black bottom inlay cover in USA Ring Size 12.5
Normal (Classic) Ring in Black Plated Metal with a Black top inlay cover and a Black bottom inlay cover in USA Ring Size 13 -
@Zackis so the problem with your rings is the black plating. the factory has problems with it and it takes time to get some done.
probably you'll receive some normal rings instead but I'm not quite sure if those are also exchanged. -
@Lafunamor thanks, @Lokki confirmed the same things ( I have quite a few posts in the particular forum) according to mail I have received there should be something coming, just not sure what and when. I am delighted to actually have my 1 ring and i'll update the thread when I get these two other rings.
-
@Zackis, I think I missed mentioning it with your other post - if the ring was a PVD Alpha, then it becomes a Ti Alpha, if it was a PVD Classic then it'll be a Ti Classic. Not sure if anyone answered that one for you yet, I didn't see it first time round.

@Lokki @johnyma22 Hi all I wanted to repose my question about my KS rings...
Initially I ordered via KS (two PVD rings) which Became (two titanium rings) ( per this same thread) which outlines information that is pertinent
On June, 28th 2014 I sent the following:
"Hey guys I realize that initially ordered:
Normal (Classic) Ring in Black Plated Metal with a Black top inlay cover and a Black bottom inlay cover in USA Ring Size 12.5
Normal (Classic) Ring in Black Plated Metal with a Black top inlay cover and a Black bottom inlay cover in USA Ring Size 13
These rings are no longer being produced so I should receive 2 titanium classic rings. These rings look very similar to the pre-order rings available on the website, so why haven't I received these yet?
There is no PVD issue ( that is solved by the voucher), there is no Alpha issue as these are classic rings, there has been no mention of polishing issues with Classic rings, my size is not one that you are out of stock on so mm what am I missing here?
Zackis"I found a message from John dated June 30th , that had been sitting in Spam/Trash,it says:
Subject: Your request (8022) has been solved.
"We will be shipping these this/next week :) "it is the 13th now ( at least on this side of the Pond) so I was wondering if these had been forgotten?
