      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:

        I know he had some production trouble, but some orders were going out. I'm in line too and chatted with him earlier this week, so I'm thinking we should start seeing shipping notices next week after the holiday.

          Hi, units up to and including 4/11 have now shipped and confirmation e-mails and tracking numbers sent.

          Update for all:

          As Gerta mentioned, we hit a few production snags over the past few weeks and I've been heads down getting them solved.

          I think (hope) we've got these solved now, but we're running about a week behind the schedule I last estimated. To help catch up with the backlog, we've added capacity in the form of additional machines, and have them set up with our custom parts and running now. Thanks again everyone for the support and patience.

          In shipping custom 3D-printed carbon-fiber ABS parts at quantity, we're doing something that as far as I know has never been done at any scale before, so thank you for being part of this.

                Great product

                Received mine late last week. Aside from initially being impressed with the packaging (it was similar to the packaging on my old Nokia 8800 phone) the finish and quality of the product was top notch.

                Though included with the package was some 3M double sided tape dots the cupholder fit perfectly in my center console without them.

                Fit a (root)beer bottle just fine, my klean canteen, amongst other things.

                Great product, great seller.

                    Just found someone with a cassette center console locally. So yes, soon. E34 also in the works.

                    Update on shipping for everyone. We've upped capacity again and churning out parts. Estimate right now is 1.5-2 weeks to have all orders that are currently in as of today shipped. You'll get shipping confirmation and tracking numbers as they ship, which should be fairly often over the next 10-14 days.

                        Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you like it! If you have a chance and wouldn't mind, I would super appreciate if you could post some pics up of your car and the cup holder. Would love to see how it looks in different cars and interiors. More products coming. Things that literally were not possible before.

                                Hi, production is continuous right now, but we're still catching up with the current orders. It's looking like 1.5-2 weeks out right now to get there, so orders put in today will ship in 2-3 weeks.
