Anyone still waiting for a shipping notice and tracking?...they promised all would be shipped by the first week in January. Nothing yet for me...if I don't have a shipping notice soon I'm opening a case with paypal to get my money back. Paid for this 6 months ago! As a collector I've learned to have plenty of patience...especially lately but this is getting so tiresome.
Received mine today...no shipping notice or tracking. They place 2 tape discs at top and bottom of slip to hold the case in place...why? really not needed. This tape is super sticky and strong...tore up my slip. Just sent them an e-mail requesting a slip replacement...let's see if they come thru. Very happy to finally have this classic restored and 4K!!
