This about Q5 transverters

I ordered a Q5 432 transverter over 12 days ago One email after I order then dead silents So this morning I sent email to Q5 and they said  Actually, we are running ahead of schedule!

 

I expect your transverter to be ready to ship in the next several days.

 I'm tracking satellites just to track them

Maybe ordering from Q5 was not the best choice.

There business model maybe not be the best.

    Hi Jim

    Q5 (Corey) are great people to deal with.  I ordered a 432 one a few weeks back and just got the payment request today.  Don't forget, everyone is challenged at the moment.

    It does say on their web site that things ship in 3-6 weeks.  So, it sounds like they are meeting their advertised expectations.

    Same for me and IMO, outstanding customer support. They are built to order and this is stated on their website. They don't charge you until they ready to ship. I received feedback they would invoice me when they were built. About two weeks and they confirmed they were complete, invoiced me, and shipped.

    James, venting here might not be the best use of time.  I find Corey very responsive and accomodating.  You may want to let him know of your time constraints.  You may also be able to upgrade your shipping to a faster shipping.  

    Often, he may have hardware supplier issues to deal with. 

    All it takes is 1 part that does not make the unit complete to hold it up.  That could be a simple as a washer, rubber feet or an LED.   

    This is the email address I was using yesterday q5signal@gmail.com.

    The delay is never good, but Im positive youll love it when it arrives. Mine works flawlessly, and the support from Corey at Q5 was absolutely fantastic.  Trust me...… its worth the wait

    I too agree with the positive comments for Cory.  I once "smoked" my Q5 transverter and Cory was nothing but helpful and available all times of the day to help me repair the unit.

    I wish Amazon Prime, could now deliver in two weeks!  Any order now for radio related parts takes one month, even for Amazon Prime orders that I previously received the next day.

    The Q5 product line is made-to-order. I mean, don't you remember filling out the questionnaire where you chose the various options for the device you were purchasing? When I ordered mine it was perfectly clear to me that I would have to wait for Corey to build the device that I ordered. Shees! If you wanted something shipped next-day, you should have gone to that Russian vendor who has a bunch of one-size-fits-all circuit boards stored in tubs.
