Tuesday will mark 3 months since I mailed out my Apex and Provari to chopper. I'm not going to btch and complain, but I'm ......, and I have the right to be at this point. I was told that there'd be a 2 week turn around time, and with that being said, I would have been fine waiting as long as I had if chopper had sent me a photo update or at the VERY LEAST respond to my PMs. I just want my mods back, and frankly, a portion of my money. Before any fanboys jump in to defend chopper, consider how you'd feel if you payed $75 to send off $400 worth of PVs to have refinished and the retailer didn't lift a finger to try and communicate with you about their progress?

I'm_kind_of_in_the_same_boat--worth_the_wait,_but_no_communication_is_killing_me.

I've never sent anything to Chopper but his work looks fantastic. I just wanted to throw my :2c: in towards the people waiting and getting upset. I can understand completely where you are coming from. I can understand that he is super busy. With family life and work life, and to throw a hobby life on top of all that can be a huge burden. I understand that he is doing everyone a great service by modding their device(s) especially at the price point he offers.

But some amount of consideration should be afforded to people who are out of pocket for this service. I can only imagine how many PM's he receives on a weekly basis. The amount of stress he is under is probably unfathomable. But at the end of the day, he is providing a service and charging people for it. No matter how reasonably priced the service is. How would it feel to send your computer in for service and it takes 3 months to get it back? And not being kept in the loop as to the status of it. It would be quite infuriating. The bond that we grow with our PV's is something that can't be explained, only experienced. So having no clue what is going on with it can be disconserting.

That said. Chopper seems like a fantastic guy and I'm sure everyone will be extremely satisfied once they get their PV's back. He just got in a little over his head people, patience is a virture. Of course that's easier said than done coming from someone who hasn't been waiting such a long period. :)

Maybe once everything gets smoothed out Chopper will make a few edits to his original post. Something covering the turn around times. Just giving people a little better heads up. I would hate to see this service end. As a community I think we would all suffer if it came to an end.

Much love Chopper hope everything works out for you brother.

I'm right behind you
I just got off the phone with Choppa. He is in the middle of some heavy personal issues right now, major troubles on the home front. He has not forgotten anybody and send his apologies and regrets to all those still waiting on their mods. He has not forgotten you. He believes he can get back to business, bigger and better, in the next couple of weeks. Rest assured, he will not forget those of you who have waited so patiently and asks that you please allow him to get things together at home base at which point he will attack the backlog and try to make everyone happy. That's all he ever wanted was to make people happy, he certainly wasn't trying to get rich at the nominal prices he charged. Sometimes life gets in the way, and he certainly could not predict the current issues, but he promises to get back to work as soon as humanly possible and try to make it up to everyone.

Haven't checked in for awhile. Do agree that if there a bit more communication then it wouldn't be as bad. Since that gives an idea as to what's going on. It's good to hear a bit of an update. So, thanks Moofaso.

Anyways, some of the other comments here is a bit odd from what I've seen. Really not going to comment on them though.

Man o man, the drama... That sucks that a lot of you are waiting to get your mods back and be informed at
Least on the progress, but damn, I'm sure that most of y'all have a gang of other mods to use in the mean time. Family is always first period, give Mike a break, 3 months 4 months, 6 months, whatever, if someone can wait a year for a mod to be built, then wtf is 3 months.... Mike, do what you gotta do and take care of your personal
Life 1st man!!

Just peeking my head in to offer a bit of support to Chopper... he's a good guy and I truly believe that he'll make everyone happy at the end of the day. Life happens. Maybe someone can support him by running the thread for him while he takes care of what he needs to. If he reads here will offer any help that I can.

Hoping all is well, friend!
