Here's an update on the US shipment. Bruce is selling Ithaka at Vapebash right now for far less than any of us paid.

Did anybody else find it odd about the timing?

If this is really going on I've gone from being annoyed about the wait to being really angry.

And to think I was going to order from COV. Granted I wasn't going to order an Ithaka, I'd rather not support this type of behavior. No matter how much it would've pained him to not sell them at VB he should of held off until ALL pre-orders were shipped before selling.

well said my friend.

takes the wind outta me sails when i see them on the classies even before the pre-orders arrive like trick was saying.

bummer.

It's even worse if they actually had arrived and the people here who have been waiting for them for months were not only not told, but not given priority on receiving their orders.

I've thrown literally thousands of dollars at CoV in the last six months or so. No more.

Yup, the wool was really pulled over our eyes this time guys! Not only does he have them in his hot little hands, he is selling them to anyone who wants one right now at vape Bash. I propose we all get a partial refund not only for being lied to, but for basically funding this project and in return being treated like trash andnNot the loyal customers some of us are (*see, were). Imeo, I really hope you step in here and do something about this and stand up for those of us who believed in you and the Ithaka all the way back in December.

I am officially calling for a ban on all purchases at COV. I have posted this in other places and I will continue to do so.

Imeo,

You and your brand are better than this. This is a black mark on us as a community. We are his bread and butter. We will not be lied to. We will not be used. I am asking you to find one of the many willing and able RESPECTABLE vendors to take over your US sales.

Sincerely,

Ken

I will wait to see what Imeo says about this. I will not listen to anything Bruce has to say, if this can be proven. But whatever Imeo says I will accept without question.

There may be much more to this than meets the eye. I do want to hear the whole story, gather all the information, then decide to ever shop with COV again or not. But with this initial information, this is bad, VERY bad.

Terrible terrible decision on Bruce's part...I am speechless, this really shows how brazen and callous the "elite" in this industry is because they feel untouchable.
Any other business ever tried this kind of shenanigan would certainly feel the fallout.

Well i hope he "lives it up" in c town because come monday morning all he will have is a few bucks and alot of ...... off folks looking for their atty...and as far as COV...i will NEVER use them again

Ive had issues with COV's way of doing things in the past and this puts the nail in the coffin if all this info is correct. The fact that Phil Busardo already owns one from VapeBash pretty much seals the deal. He should never have sold any of those at Vapebash. I wont buy any excuses as to why its ok.

Oh I can already hear it now. The excuse will be there are 2 shipments, 1 for VB, and 1 for "the rest of us". You know those of us who paid a long time ago to fund the production of these attys so they could go to everyone but us first.

There is no "excuse" that will right this as far as I'm concerned.

I'm one of those folks who remains calm and collected until the details of a situation unfold with clarity. If this is actually happening, it definitely will fall into the "unforgivable" category of the mental Rolodex...

I do want to say in COV's defense, unlike some others posts I've always had great ordering experiences and wonderful/prompt customer service from both Bruce and Justin...
