Getting There...
Hello Fellow Kickstarters!
Well the good news, bad news thread continues.
This time we will start with the good news: ALL the $100 thru $15 Backers Rewards have been SENT!!!
The bad news, again mostly for me, is that I got sick over the weekend. (A combination of a head cold, mini-flu, and stomach-bug hit all at once.) As a result, I am now about a week behind schedule.
Speaking of which, the schedule is:
Signature Wheels will be SENT tomorrow - Friday, January 4th.
$10 Uni-Wheels will be sent SATURDAY, January 5th.
$8 Uni-Wheels will be sent MONDAY, January 7th.
And the Scratch-n-Dent Wheels will be sent on Tuesday & Wednesday, January 8th & 9th.
My apologies to those that have had to wait longer than atticipated for your Wheels.
A Big Thank You to all those that have received your Wheels and commented how happy your are to have received them and the enthusiasm you have shown in looking forward to using them.
As for getting Grandma Storn's Herb Wheels in the future, we have mentioned previously that you can get them on www.10CoolProducts.com. And, we are currently having a Ks Scratch-N-Dent sale specifically for our Kickstarter Family, though we will open this up to include our Facebook Familly, too.* This is your 2nd chance to get these Wheels early.
We will make it known on Facebook soon that we are selling discounted 1st & 2nd Cut Wheels on www.10CoolProducts.com so get your Wheels now if you are going to take advantage of this deal.*
Buy 5 and get 1 FREE. Buy 10 and get 2 FREE!! Of any type!
May 2013 Be Your Best Year Yet!
We will keep you up to date on our progress in creating our 2nd Grandma Storn's Herb Wheel 2 App project here on Kickstarter!
All My Best,
BPStorn
*In my last update, I stated that we would not announce this sale anywhere else. After further thought on the matter, I decided that that 10 days and 2 announcement head start was more than enough. And not announcing it on Facebook would simply be foolish on my part. Just wanted my Grandma Storn's Kickstarter Family to know and have first (and second) shot at getting the better Wheels in the 1st & 2nd Cut piles!

The SCRATH-N-DENT REWARD: As a very particular entreprenuer, quality control is tight. We reject any Wheels that have even what many would consider minor imperfections as we want our backers to have the very best. So we created this category for those that are fine with minor flaws. This is a FIRST COME, BEST of the SCRATCH-N-DENT inventory. As we go through The Wheels from our supplier we separate them into Sample quality, 1st Rejection Quality, 2nd, and 3rd. These Wheels will come from that 1st Rejected pile and there are a limited amount so scoop'em up before they are gone.

+++TEN WHEELS +++FREE No-Ad Herb Wheel App ($9.99 value) +++YOUR PERSONAL FUN ITEM ADDED to the Herb Wheel App+++THIS REWARD WILL BE $1,000 IN THE WHEEL 2 APP PROJECT!!! SO DO IT NOW..................................... For folks with the means and desire to be a Backer for a great project and product at a higher level to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit. Ten (10) Signed Herb Wheels for gifts and appreciation-Thank You's. And you get to add a funny 'food' to the Herb Wheel App for all to see; or find. For example, the item would appear just like a food: "Lance Derry --- Dork, Dufus, Dunderhead". Great way to immortalize a friend.) Lance, btw, is one of my very best friends that I have known since I was 8. And he is a big dancing-dork.) (Subject to Approval; i.e. let's keep it reasonably intelligent.) These will be the only Wheel App Add-ons in the original release of the App. This reward is contingent upon the Wheel 2 App project being successfully funded in January. Our goal will most likely be $12,500 with Wheels as rewards. I still have some more research to do before officially setting the goal. Based on the popularity of this project we should be able to get there. +++A FREE download of the No-Ad Herb Wheel App (contingent upon the January Wheel 2 App Ks Project being successfully fully funded.)

I got my wheels yesterday! Thank you!
Creator Meghann Kinsey on January 4
I received my two wheels today. Texas if that helps with a time frame. Looks good. Can't wait to try it out.
Creator B.P. Storn on January 4
How about that? Corpselocker taking care of the living.) Thanks, uh...Corpse - for short? Or do you go by Cors?
And Michael, too, for stepping up for me and Grandma Storn's Herb Wheel Project in a big way!
I think we all can agree receiving one's Wheels PRIOR to the end of the campaign when requested and within weeks of the end of the project despite said project ending mere days before Christmas and before I even receive one red-cent is going above and beyond the norm.
As for anyone's recommendations, I am all ears. As for a better prioritized process for how/when to send out The Wheels? We are open to that as well. A point to be made, though. If this were a business, I wonder where the smartest place to start that process would be? Just curious.)
I will continue to work hard to get the remaining Wheels out as soon as possible and then start on the one-off's, for example addressess that did not fit in one of the systems correctly; i.e. too long, unacceptable icons, etc...

Georgieanna: Thanks for pointing out the period. I needed my glasses and I knew someone would tell me.
Michael: Thanks for sharing the link.
Creator Michael on January 3
I have to mirror what Corpselocker said. This has been an amazingly run KS campaign. The creator has been very communicative, posts fun pictures with the products, and is able to be reached by private contact.
When people want to see what an actual bad KS is I point them to this one

LOL @ Kathy
I see you've backed one whole Kickstarter project before. This particular Kickstarter only made $14k. That was not to include manufacture, shipping, design, time, etc. I doubt that the owner would call this a business (as of yet). Many, many Kickstarter projects miss their deadlines by months if not a year. I think if your delicate sensibilities are too rattled by less than a month delay, maybe Ebay or Amazon would be more appropriate for you.
Creator Kathy Balcom on January 3
Seriously - all I really care about is getting the darn wheel. It's just been one excuse after another. This really doesn't sound like a business to me; more like a side-line hobby! I realize I only pledged the smallest amount, customer service shouldn't be predicated on amount spent, especially if one hopes to get more backing in the future!
Creator Georgieanna on January 3
Actually there is a difference, the first link contains a period at the end which is likely the culprit.
Creator Lynn Iwamoto on January 3
I am sorry to hear that you suffered through three illnesses at once! I sure hope you feel almost normal now.
The strangest thing is that first link leads to a site that is no longer in operation, but the second link opens up a working site. I can't see a difference in the addresses.
Thanks. I thought you would want to know.
Lynn
