Ultimate2 statistics

Hans Summers
 


Hi all

I finally got round to typing all my order details into a big spreadsheet and doing some statistics. From time to time I'll update the charts.

1) The number of LPF kits that have been ordered so far, total 637. Remember, not all of these have been sent out - there are 48 Ultimate2 orders currently pending since the first set of 200 sold out and I am getting the new set together. So the numbers in the chart includes the sent and the unsent orders.

2) The shipping information. Thank you to everybody who wrote to told me when their kit arrived, I have compiled all this information and arranged it into a table, by country - so that you can see the minimum, average, and maximum shipping times to your country.

See?

Hans,

Yes, your records are correct.??? It does seem strange, particularly because I usually receive one or two packages of electronic parts from out of the country each month.??? The previous Ultimate kit and this one are the only unusual delays I've seen in several years.??? Even packages from China always show up in two to three weeks.??? Looks as if your maximum shipping time to the US is going to be 40+ days.

You ordered an Ultimate kit (U1) on 11-July-2012. We started having correspondence about it going missing, on 11-August-2012. At that time Steve G0XAR was shipping, from the UK. He sent you a replacement kit on 13-August-2012. You reported that both the replacement kit, AND the original one, turned up together on 21-August-2012 on the same day.???

So in that case it appears that UK to US shipping of your first Ultimate kit took 6 weeks (the replacement taking only 1 week). That kind of delay appears very rare and it seems a big coincidence that it has happened to you twice now. So I wonder if there is something particular/peculiar about your local customs office or post office. Very strange.

In any event the prior experience seems to suggest that we should wait a bit longer. Anyway, we have no choice in the matter, since there are currently no U2 kits to be able to ship a replacement yet anyway.

Fingers crossed, I hope it turns up soon.

Hans,

From your spreadsheet, I see that the average number of shipping days to the US is 6.6.??? I ordered my kit on April 20, and it still has not arrived.??? If it was one of the first 200, my data will cause a considerable skew to your statistics.

Could you tell me whether the kit has been shipped yet?

Best regards,

Hans,

I grew curious as to why two shipments of Ultimate kits might show a difference of more than a month in delivery time to the US.??? So I retrieved both packages from the basement and compared them.??? The faster package is marked "Small Packet" and has a return address.??? The slower package has neither.??? The faster package is also declared for 3 gram heavier weight than the slower one.

I can only speculate that the lack of return address or perhaps underdeclared weight may have routed the slower package for more scrutiny before delivery.

Hi Michael

Your order 1050 of two U2 kits (20m and 30m) was shipped on 30-Apr-2013, it was in the first batch to be shipped. If it does not turn up, I will have another sent to you. However the kits are still in preparation stage, none are available to ship yet.???

It certainly seems like a very long shipping time. However, I went back through my records and found that the same thing happened to you before!???

Hans,

From your spreadsheet, I see that the average number of shipping days to the US is 6.6.? I ordered my kit on April 20, and it still has not arrived.? If it was one of the first 200, my data will cause a considerable skew to your statistics.

Could you tell me whether the kit has been shipped yet?

Best regards,
Michael? KD4SGN
