      Still waiting for my Panda to arrive. Depart USPS Sort Facility, February 01, 2012, TRENTON, NJ 08650. Asked Vincent for information on friday n still waiting for a response.

      I'm very frustrated (just like my friends in town who ordered their pandas n didn't got them yet either). :(

      Thank you everyone for supporting us on Kickstarter.

      I would like to apologize on the behalf of the PANDA team for any apparent delays in shipping that occurred with our Kickstarter backers. This was a learning experience as we worked with our fulfillment partner. We have now optimized our our shipping and order fulfillment.

      All orders from now on that are placed at our site wearpanda.com are guaranteed to be speedy and worry free. All sunglasses are now shipped out within 1 business day using USPS First Class with package tracking. We are working on implemented an upgraded shipping option for our international customers that will include international package tracking.

      In the case anyone has questions, comments, or concerns do not hesitate to email me directly at vincent@wearpanda.com for a direct and quick response. The comment section of our Kickstarter page will only be monitored periodically.

      Thank you,
      The PANDA Team

      The service was great, thank you!

      But there is a small gap on the top of the left side. So I can not use it. That is a problem.

      I will take it to my glasses-Dealer and Check the filter options... the bamboo Parts are great... But i Love my eyes, so we will see, what the Filter is all about...

      My glasses are awesome but I took them to my local eyeglass store and they said that they were unable to replace the lenses with perception ones.

      Any Canadian backers received their glasses yet? Mine still says "Your item departed our TRENTON, NJ 08650 sort facility on February 01, 2012. " you figure it wouldn't take over a week to get into Canada and delivered near Toronto.

      Creator Neil G on February 7, 2012

      Thanks for the feedback, i understand there would be a delay - just i want to make sure its moving :P usually i receive most items through fedex who give me line by line update so i can see it move across the globe!

      I backed 3-4 kickstarter projects all around the same time, i'm happy to say yours is the first to ship out! Congrats.

    13. Ksprofile.small

      Creator Vincent Ko on February 6, 2012

      Neil & Sinjo - This is because you are international orders. We are using USPS First Class and being that HK is half way around the world it does take additional time then those orders in the US (additiona 2-9 days). USPS First Class does not order step-by-step tracking on international orders. Your sunglasses should be arriving this week.

      @NeilG That's exactly where mine is stuck too.

      Hey Guys, I'm still waiting for my glasses (International Shipment - Hong Kong), when i check the tracking number i get it only says this:
      "Your shipment was accepted/picked up at 4:30 pm on January 31, 2012 in LAKEWOOD, NJ 08701 ."

      Its now the 6th, 7 days... I thought i would see some movement on it? did you do express shipping?

      Creator Sinjo on January 24, 2012

      You guys need to realize that those weren't the normal kind of orders. The glasses are still being manufactured.

      You'd all be better for it if you learned some patience and truly realized what an investment is.

      Hey Everyone,

      Directions on how to get your sunglasses with your unique coupon code have just been messaged and emailed.

      David - our email is info@wearpanda.com, panda.com is owned by someone else.

      Kevin - you can bring the frames into a eye-care professional to put in prescription lenses

      Eric - if you are having issues with the model you choose feel free to message or email me.

      Thank you everyone!
      Vincent

      I'm concerned. I tried to email your info@panda email address with a query and it got rejected and an email sent back saying "Any email sent to this address will be ignored and deleted". Please advise as to what is going.

    44. Missing_small

      Creator Kevin Chen on January 9, 2012

      Would it be at all possible to have prescription lenses made to fit these frames?

    45. Missing_small

      Creator Eric Van Wingerden on January 7, 2012

      Are the sunglasses exchangeable if they don't look right on our faces? Just curious because I have absolutely no idea which design to get!

      this might be a dumb question but are the wayfarer glasses only for girls because i only see girl models wearing them

      Creator Y. Chung on January 3, 2012

      Sinjo, I'm not upset. But usually the project creator sends an email thanking their backers and explain what the process is going to be right after the project is funded (or at least within a day).

      The manufacturing / planning process could take a year for all I care.... I just want to know what that process is. Or at least a little more transparency...
