Consolidating the Stamp Positioner Threads Right Here

Um....you obviously missed all the posts that clearly state exactly this. 

I just saw this on Tonic's FB page:

Stamp Platform Update:


June 7, 2017

Tonic would like to give you an update on the situation regarding the new Model 1707e Tim Holtz Stamping Platform. Since the last announcement, we the team at Tonic have been working very hard to minimize the delay and impact this has had on the supply of the product whilst ensuring we can release a product that we can continue to supply in the USA. We would like to take this opportunity to apologize again for the delay and ask for your continued support and patience while we try to get the products into stock and shipped out to you all.

We have been working to modify the product for the release to ensure we do not infringe any existing patents. We hope you will agree when you see the revised Model 1707e that the changes we have made to the design do not detract from the look or function of the product and most people will not notice any difference from the original. Even though we maintain our previous product (which we did not distribute) did not infringe the granted patent of My Sweet Petunia (MSP), these differences have been made to provide further clarity in the situation so we can provide our retail partners clear guidance on the sale of the product.

As we move to catch up with the demand for the product we will be releasing the incoming shipments on a first come first served basis based with our retail partners on when we received the orders. We will be confirming the expected delivery date to each of our retailers within the next 7 days. The first shipments we expect to be dispatched on the week of 09 July with the second delivery to be on the week of 16 July. We are working to improve this wherever possible; however, we want to provide a clear and realistic route to completion. We also want to be realistic that the product will be entering the country during the holiday period which may involve additional small delays. These dates are when we will receive product into our warehouse in California so there may be a few more days to get the product to the partners and then onto the consumers.

We would like to thank all our retailers and their consumers for their ongoing support for Tonic Studios USA Inc. and the support from the team at Tim Holtz LLC. We will make a further announcement if the situation changes; however at this time we will be dealing directly with the retailers so they can pass on the relevant delivery information to their consumers.

If you are an end consumer and have specific questions on delivery, please contact your retailer while we send out updates. Please allow a few days before doing so while we filter the information to them.

If you have any questions for Tonic Studios directly please contact directly on customerservice@tonic-studios.comI 

I am simply reading Tonic's statement on facebook, quoted here. Their own words, which are disingenuous.


ETA: I am not tech savvy enough to put multiple quotes in one post but I have bolded the words I take issue with a couple of posts down.

So two days ago I was going to bite the bullet on eBay except my card did not go through. The notification said: your bank may have a hold or somthing like that.

Sure enough, the same day 3 fraudulent charges were pending and my card was on hold. I think it was a sign from the stamping gods.

"Be patient. The end of the wait is near!!!"

(happy dance)

There have been several MISTI apologists coming into these TH Stamp Platform threads and just trying to find something to justify MSP's actions, nitpicking left and right. It's possible you were mistaken for one of those. Nothing to worry about. It's true that a little extra clarification would've been necessary had it been a Tonic Studios general/international page post but it was indeed their USA account.

Anyhoo, I came in here to say that my platform is on its way to me! I just got a shipment notification. Can I get a woop woop?

Since that last part was clearly a dig at me, I'm going to go ahead and say yes, you missed a few logical sequitur's.

The first paragraph talks about distribution in the USA.

The last paragraph mentions the warehouses they are shipping to are in California.

And somewhere in the middle it thanks their followers for their support of "Tonic Studios USA INC".

So, while I did leave out the "USA" part in my initial post, I really don't think it was that far of a leap to know they were talking about the USA release.

Also, I pulled that from their Facebook page. They have posted a few updates on there as the delays have happened keeping their followers informed. I'm sure they were thinking their followers had seen all of the updates and they didn't need to post every detail in every update, as those that had been following know the product is only having issues in the USA and has been distributed elsewhere.

Next time I'll just post a link.

I have only read your first line and IT WAS NOT A DIG AT YOU! It was another unnamed pea. No names, no pack drill. I was genuinely happy that there was a "reason" for my error.
