Shipping Plans

Update #5 · Dec 6, 2012 · 22 comments

Hello all,

The end is almost here, Thank you all for all your support in this wonderful adventure we have started. 50K and rising! Wow! Thank you for your help!

Allot of backers are asking if their Bandit Gun will arrive by Christmas and I wanted to share with you our plans to meet this in every effort we can, but again I need your help with the following.

I will be sending you a survey as soon as the campaign is over with several questions like your correct shipping address, email address, and other questions to help me with future Bandit Gun models. I believe I will not be able to ship your Bandit Gun(s) until I receive your survey back. So PLEASE send this back to me as soon as possible. Maybe the same day or early the next morning.

For all US backers and close by countries. All the Bandit Guns are cut-out, the rubber bands are packed, directions are printed, and the bolts should arrive tomorrow via UPS. So I have gathered all of my friends and family on Saturday to create an assembly line to package all the Bandit Gun kits into a poly bag and package carefully into a box with your shipping info and ready for the post office to pickup on Saturday afternoon and Monday morning. I also talked again with the business solutions executive from the United States Postal Service today and he reassured me again that if he could pickup all the packages (being sent Parcel Post) by Monday morning they will arrive to you by Christmas. I think this probably is a record from the end of the campaign to shipping to you in only a few days on Kickstarter. But again I need your help by sending me your survey back with all the important information. If I don't receive your info it will be impossible for me to make your Christmas deadline. Thank you in advance for all your help to make this process quick, accurate, and efficient.

For all overseas international orders, the post office is unsure on how long it will take to arrive to you, due to international customs and your individual mailing systems.

As always I am truly grateful for you "The backer" and your trust in our team here at Bandit Guns. I can't say it enough times...... Thank you for all your support!

Thank you all,

Bob Coulston

Rubber Bands, Rubber Bands, Rubber Bands

Update #4 · Nov 23, 2012 · 8 comments

Hello,

    Have you ever wondered what 100lbs of 2" rubber bands would look like setting on your dining room table. Well here it is, delivered today! YAH! My french bulldog "Kitty" thought it was fun too. Several fell off the table and he went nuts thinking they were his new dog toys! I know, funny name for a dog but he would only come to us when he was little by calling him "Kitty, Kitty" so the name stuck.

Thank you again for all your help in supporting this campaign!

Pictures............ as promised

Update #3 · Nov 15, 2012 · comment

Hello again,

I went to the manufacture today to check on quality and do some testing on etching and font size. I am glad to report all looks GREAT! So as promised, I have attached a few pictures and a very, very short video of the laser etch testing. Wow, their laser etching machine is fast! The manufacture and I discussed the ability to produce several guns and the magic number is 2000 before Christmas, So our extended goal is to have 2000 guns made. Can you please spread the word to all your friends and family to make our new goal? Thanks again for your support!

Thanks,

Bob Coulston
