Ordered! cant wait!!! Finally! cup holders!

Thanks for the order and the support!

I've been using development versions of these since last December, so sometimes I forget how nice it was to first have these and not have to worry about soaking my crotch or having the drink topple over into the crack between the console and the passenger seat.

Production is churning away now and should have some updates on the run and ship out dates for the first batches in the coming days. Thanks all!

Any updates for shipping to Canada I'm definitely interested

Can we pay by Paypal?

Hopefully you work out the Canada part soon so we don't miss out on the first round. :)

Hi all, there is now a Canada shipping option added via USPS Priority and Canada Post. This will give us no brokerage fees (vs those charged by UPS and FedEx), package tracking and estimated 6-10 days from delivery from shipment.

There may be a small duty added on at the border crossing that if added, will be due on delivery to Canada Post.

Thanks!

How are things coming along for the beginning of may delivery? ;D

Just wrapped up package details yesterday and units will start rolling out in the coming few days. A few beta testers from over the past six months have production units now. Excited for all the early backers to get them in hand over the next few weeks.

Just drove from LA to SF and the cupholder was great! Takes seconds to install and it was very stable and easy to use. Made the driving so much more pleasant. Thanks again for a great product!

Hi, yours is estimated to be shipping late this week or early next. Thanks for the patience, you'll get a tracking number confirmation in e-mail when the order ships.

Quick overall update:

Orders placed on April 10 have shipped.

Orders placed on April 11 should ship this week.

We have added capacity to catch up to the backlog and to eventually build up some stock. The goal is to have all orders to yesterday (May 10) shipped by end of May. I'll update here as the batches get prepared to go out.

A number of folks ordered at the higher-priced tier when there was still the Early-Bird tier available. This happened with more folks than it should have, and I apologize that the site layout wasn't more clear about this and may have caused this confusion. I've sent e-mail to those folks to see how they'd like to be credited so their price matches the lower price tier that was still available when they ordered.

The last few Early-Bird pre-sale priced units still available at:

Well designed. Order placed.

Looks good. I could use multiple diameters for my drinks. That husco doesn't hold up well with many drinks. Are you thinking of designing accessories for the unit?

Yes, there is an arm rest attachment in the works (the small back pocket doubles as one of the anchor points for the arm rest). There will also potentially be application-specific inserts for the front cup holder slot depending on what people request.

I'll also introduce a number of other items in the coming months that form a more complete "solution" to modernize the E30 interior while still keeping a distinctly OEM+ feel. The cup holder is just the start of that. If there are any packages that are introduced then, existing cup holder owners prior to that introduction will get coupon codes to at least match any package offers.
