I've backed quite a few projects with KS without any problems, and were hassle free. THIS project however has been a massive pain. Has anyone else backed this? Based on my experience with this, I don't think I'll be backing vanda again. He took too much on, and as a result his backers for this project has had to suffer.
Still no official update from him and it's been about 6 months. Just a little txt in the comments section explaining how he's taken too many things on.

Sorry for the little rant.

Funny, I remember seeing an update somewhere... Recently, in fact. It did mention shipping delays and an overambitious delivery schedule.

I mentioned a comment(not an update)in the new deck report

Creator posted a comment 11/6/2013- I did take on more than I can handle - I let my optimism run a bit too wild.
I assure you that I'm still working to get these cards and accessories shipped
out to everyone but at the moment I'm very swamped with full time work
and finishing up the last few remaining orders from my previous project

These creators don't get it. You have to make an update- updates are what gets emailed to people- comments do not.

Pre-ordered the polaris decks on the Vanda website in June. I've sent correspondence thrice via the contact us tab on the site... Crickets...

Wow look who is making an update

Hey everyone,

I just posted a similar update on the Polaris project which I'm still finishing up…

I realize it's been far too long without an update and I apologize for that. I've managed to spread myself far too thin between work and projects. In addition to my graphic design work, I am a professional musician and have been very busy performing with orchestras and Broadway shows and that has taken up a considerable amount of my time lately. I've been quite overwhelmed with daily duties and a rapidly-accumulating task list.

The good news is that my schedule has now freed up somewhat and I can get back on track with fulfilling orders and catching up on correspondence.

I have received a few of the Mustache decks (photos below) and have scheduled delivery of the bulk of them. The decks look absolutely amazing! Honestly, this is my favorite Vända deck so far - the color palette is perfect and everything turned out exactly as I was hoping.

I'm still finishing up laser-cut items from Polaris (which has taken far longer than I expected due to limited laser machine availability and technical problems) after which I can work on the laser cutting of mustaches and boxes. Right now I expect to start shipping out orders within 3 weeks.

As with the awaiting Polaris backers, since this project is well past the expected deadline, I have decided to include a special bonus with your package as a thank you for your ongoing patience so keep an eye out for that

Thanks,

David

He has been busy.... He will be shipping in his free time...No sense of business or professionalism....In my book big major chump nuff said

Glad they are really on top of things

It's good to know he's starting to deliver. I'm having to wait a little but longer because I pledged for the custom box. He mentioned in his last updated that he'll be including a special bonus in the packages. Did u get anything?

badpete69 · « **Reply #66 on:** January 18, 2014, 09:41:54 PM »

Nope just the 2 decks I had pledged for

I pledged for the custom box, too. I hope it doesn't take significantly longer...

Im not totally sure about that yet... I was contacted by the powers that be saying that the uncut sheets were never made. So instead of getting uncut sheets I could get a refund(which was said to probably take a while) or choose 4 decks from a list. So I chose the 4 decks and asked when it would ship, they said within the week or latest next week.... That was well over a month ago, lost the email so i can't confirm but probably closer to 2 months.

I decided to goto Vanda's website and inquire. Still no response and that has been about 5 days. Personally at this point I really don't give a shit. I will never purchase anything with Vanda's name on it because he obviously can't get his shit together. The cards if they ever show up will be delivered to my old house and who knows if I will ever see them.

I emailed him very professionally. I will email him again before I move with my new address. I will probably not be so nice in the next one due to the lack of a response.
