After evaluating the orders on MB website & Paypall, the situation is like this :
Due to the fact that many orders were made even at the same second, there are many orders above the stock of Chalice (on MarkBugs website).
We do not want to give bad news to anybody, this is why today we discussed with the management and the production team the ”plan”for the orders above the stock. So, some of you, who ordered the Chalice III after the stock was over (we evaluated the orders chronologically, according to the number of order in Paypall) will receive an email of notice (probably today).
In the email you will have 2 options:
1 to refund you the money for the order
2 to wait until we finish the next batch of Chalice and receive your product.
Unfortunately, due to the holiday season, the production capacity, the next batch of Chalice will be ready probably at the beginning of February 2015.
For those who do not receive an email (on the paypall email address provided), we will ship the Chalice hopefully tomorrow and you will probably receive it on Monday. Thank you all for your patience, understanding, we are honored to have such loyal clients, as you all!
MB Team

If the second batch is being planned already, please do consider a limited quantity of pre-order for next batch. There are many of us who are more than willing to pay upfront and wait a few months for the delivery. This isn't uncommon for limited items from reputable vendors. If you open up the pre-order for a few hundred, I am pretty sure it will get filled within a few days. You guys have shown time and time again that you will do whatever it takes to fulfill your agreements. Hence, I, for one, don't have any issue paying upfront. Don't need any fancy preorder system either. Just a simple email stating receiving of pre-order payment will do.
Thanks

Order # 1197. received the email from mark at 11:31. Two sales in a row I've been in this situation. So I'm fast...just not fast enough!!! That's OK the Chalice is well worth waiting for!! Can't wait until February.

Weird. So 1197 didn't make it... But someone at 12xx made it....

Hey mark, so I've checked all my mail and stuff and didn't get an email. Is there any way to confirm our status?

My Paypal receipt has a time stamp of 16:03:21 EST. If that helps. I did have a little trouble once getting to Paypal.


I think that is why. I had invoice 1222 but my time stamp is paid almost a minute faster than yours at 15:02:34 local. I have not gotten an email yet.

Yea! 47 seconds to be exact. I got to paypal and I wasn't logged in. I use RoboForm for my passwords. For what ever reason Roboform didn't come up. So of course because I use software to remember my passwords, I could not remember it myself. So I had to look it up. We live and we learn. Next time I'll be ready for any eventuality!

Haha so apparently a bunch of folks saw that I bought a second chalice for fun and have PMed me to ask to buy it.

Apologies but I've alrdy offered it to someone else on the thread! Felt terrible after seeing so many folks disappointed about missing out. So Yeap I'll only have one left and I really wanna keep it.

Let it be known I wasn't one of the PM people. I have seen a few people who had two offer one to someone else, and was happy for them. However, I am not the type to start bugging people by PM for their chalices. Figured if someone wanted to offer they would initiate that.
I was told to try and american site by Mark. Electronicstix didn't launch on time, Vapinart didn't even accept paypal,and Mark's site was glitching and offered me two of them twice where I could have had them even though I had only selected one. Wouldn't modify in the cart either. Glad things worked out for others. I never should have done what Mark asked using mom and pop american sites. Unfortunately even being at his site in the first few seconds after realizing Electronicstix was launching late his glitches not allowing just purchasing a single one cost me. So if you are waiting a few months to get a chalice from him and got an apology from Mark count yourself lucky. You could have had my experience. I hope others don't misconstrue my comments as poor sportsmanship. If the sites had all launched on time and worked properly and I hadn't gotten a chalice I wouldn't have typed this. I would have just thought well maybe next time.

Yep, there were some "glitches" in the launch and I didn't get one either. But Instead of bitterness, I'll pay the rationalization card.

These atties are twice as expensive as the original, small-chambered, bottom-feeding atties I currently enjoy. Are they really that much better?

If I had gotten one and they really ARE that good, I'd be annoyed that I couldn't get 3 or 4 more, 'cause I run 3-4 mods at all times.

If they're not substantially better, then I'd be annoyed that I'd wasted the money.

So there, it's better that I didn't get one! :laugh:
