Tumult reviews

DavidFun · 04-01-2003, 08:30 PM

Any of you guys who received their tumults over the past month have any reviews, or impressions to share with those of us that are anxiously and impatiently waiting?

Is it worth the funds, or should I just cancel and get on the list for two av15s?

Any clue when the rest of us will get ours?

Heard from Brian at adire that Destijl is finishing(ed) the last of the first run. The second run should be shipping by the end of this week.

Well...

I'd give you a review, but I don't have my Tumult yet. I've had a tracking number for almost 2 weeks though. Too bad UPS doesn't have the driver.

It's my understanding that Adire printed out all of the shipping labels and sent them to Destijl so that they could ship directly to the customers.

I'm gonna bump this, cause I too have been waiting for a WHILE for some customer testimonials.

And your you're going to keep waiting because Adire still hasn't shipped them all out. But never fear... I've had a tracking number for 24 days and according to UPS, my billing information has been received. (this means UPS doesn't have a package yet)

Trust me I've been waiting for my driver a lot longer than you have for testimonials.

ahhhh... the cost of being an early adopter...

hope it outperforms your greatest expectations...

I for one can say it won't outperform my greatest expectations. Maybe if I was getting two for the price of one regular. But all this wait, empty promises, and endless stories of what is happening with the build of the driver, is just not worth it.I was a very patient person until the point of I received my tracking# but still now 26 days later, ups still does not have my driver on the truck.

The bigger kick in the head is, everyone that I know who got on on the sryke av15 pre-order, received there drivers weeks ago. I have always supported and recommended adire to friends and other diyer's. But, at this point in the game they get a big

from me.

Dave,

Cmon now. You know you love Adire's lies as much as the rest of us.

Ok, maybe not. I'm positive I could come up with more accurate updates with a magic 8 ball and a 12 sided die.

Apparently, part of the explanation is that the build house doesn't want to "piss off" the UPS driver, so they only give him 10 Tumults a day. Only 5 shipping days in a week it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out it will take weeks to ship 'em all out. The other little detail is that the build house didn't build enough Tumults to fill the rest of the pre-orders yet. Supposed they were going to finish some more last Thursday, but we all see how that ended.

For all the Adire fanboys who are about to jump in this thread consider the following facts.

I ordered the Tumult 173 days ago.
I paid for the Tumult 149 days ago.
I was first told it would ship "within a week" 135 days ago.

"The bigger kick in the head is, everyone that I know who got on on the sryke av15 pre-order, received there drivers weeks ago."

Tumults could have been shipped weeks ago with problems. . .

I received my AV-15's, and had to send them back for repairs. Now they have been at TC sounds for over a month, and guess what. . .no cones. I might not get my drivers back until the same time everyone on the SECOND preorder get theirs!!!!!

Counting days, that is 180+ days since I paid for my AV-15's.

Well, whenever you get in on a pre-order for any product there are always roadblocks, setbacks, etc. That's the way it is. Shit happens. Get over it. If you'd gotten the driver and it wasn't 100% right you'd then be bitching about that.

If you don't want the damn thing then cancel your order. I'm sure someone else will be more than happy to take it.

Sorry, but all this adolescent whining is getting old.
