@johnyma22 Yea, I reckon I didn't figure that there'd be a lot of folks ordering rings my size for some reason. Upshot, I'm still waiting on another KS I backed that ended before yours; and they haven't even made it to having a final product ship from the factory. :)

That would have been a sheer lottery moment!

I just took the suggestion and replied that if they can switch any out for alphas that'd be great. I'm even okay with switching to titaniums if one's an alpha. Fat fingers need fat rings.

@Lokki Yea, I got an email on Jan 14th that went out to a small subset of backers. Makes sense we got glitched with that request for information email.

NFC Ring Order Information Required
We need to confirm a few things...

Hey Robert Waters,

Please email support@nfcring.commailto:support@nfcring.com with details about your ring choices as we only have one ring listed for your backer account and you are entitled to up to 2 more rings, due to the amount you pledged. If you want the same sizes / options as your first ring choice for the other ring/s, please let us know.

This email has only gone out to a very small subset of our backers.

Thanks :)

@Lokki Nah, because I need to know if it's a sizing issue or not. I can't go down to a 12.5, and if 13's an issue 13.5 is definitely going to be one.

I knew we were losing the SBs, but I didn't know that they had dropped my alpha too. meh.

I still want to know who has the information in "NFC Ring Survey £50 The Collection - Ring sizes, metal colours and inlay cover colours", because that has all of my original requests. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1z_3TumnkxXohHdgG3VQ_T5G-fpwFEOGHPsTUgPBOwmU/closedform)

@Lokki It's this: All normal, all identical. I think when the Jan. email asking for inlay colors and ring sizes was sent, my reply of "the same inlays and size as the normal ring you've listed in this email is fine" was misunderstood as "change all my rings to the same as the normal ring".

@Lokki And dang you for confirming my fears that someone had changed my entire order to normal rings instead of the alpha-normal-stealth I had originally submitted as my collection. hah. Ah well. This is one of those cases where the wrong thing is better than nothing I reckon.

@gth I just replied to the email asking what specifically it is, otherwise I'll just wait.

I think it's the sizes honestly. Damn us for getting something bigger than a 10. hah.

I got an email from Frodo that was pretty non-specific as to what's causing the hold up (I think it's size, honestly), asking if I'd like to change size or style to get them sooner than 8 weeks.

Then I noticed they were all switched to normal rings, when originally it was Normal, Alpha, Stealth.

Really bums me out, that I jumped up to the Collection backing level because I'm a big guy and the Alpha being such a substantial ring was perfect along with the now failed stealth (that was sweet in the prospect that no one would know it had an actual technological purpose to it) and a normal ring in case I needed to have one available for a partner living with me (door locks and all).

Did all of the data that got filled in on the Google Docs get lost? I also just found an old email from Jan. that asked for information that had already been submitted when the original request for information via Docs came out.

@jasok2 Feel lucky. :) I still haven't gotten anything on mine, but since I've gotten pretty quick replies when I've mailed support I'm not sweating it. Kind of all components of backing a kickstarter project, because you're contributing to the development of something, not an immediate reward.

@Lokki Yea, I got this from Chris after I emailed support on the 6th.

Hi Robert,

We've been packing collections for the last few days and lots of them have just gone out in the post.
Keep an eye on your email for a dispatch notification in the next day or two for confirmation. (check spam folder too or add 'frodo@nfcring.com' to your contacts).

If you don't receive one by then, fear not - you'll no doubt be in the next batch of collections we send out.

Thanks for your support,
Chris

Sooooooo. I've got frodo added to contacts and all. Still no emails, but. I'm hoping maybe one day I'll get one. lol.

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.
