I would buy another one if he does a diy kit. I bought the initial one as a gift for my buddy.
I think we should be buddies then

Finally got my Converter today ! !
So here is the Story:
- The first one he send with regular french post never arrived here...
- Tried to contact him via email - no response...
- Thanks to Fox1 who figured out to contact him via IRC - that worked !
- Contacted him and he said he could send me another one of the last two that he has left
- I paid an extra 20€ for faster and "safer" shipping with Chronopost, because I wanted that thing as fast as possible to arrive here...
- He send me the tracking number and I thought okay, this will work...
- After 10 days no Converter and the shipping status @ chronopost said it wasn't even taken to the post office
- Contacted him again and bugged him after that he went to the post office again and came back after around 40min...he said the label was torn off and that they printed a new one (this was on monday 24/03/2014)
- Today the converter arrived and works perfectly...
I'd like to know as well what the hell is going on. This should have been a simple transaction for everyone.
I would hope so, it's an absolute shame it turned out this way and I was really looking forward to getting one of these someday.if he wasn't going to be making any more - he could always open source the design or license it to more capable partners
Last I heard from him was 3 weeks ago. He gave me a very similar account to what he gave Fox, and gave me the option of either a refund or he could send out my adapter (since somehow mine hadn't gone out at all yet -- "about 10" hadn't been mailed at all according to him). I said I still wanted the product if it was possible, so he then made up the label and sent me a .pdf copy of it so I saw my address and the tracking number. Said he would drop it at the post office the next day (the 1st) and I should see updates, that it generally took roughly a week to get to the US.Has anyone been in contact with him recently? I've sent numerous E-mails with no response now. The unit was promised months ago. We're now in the territory of theft, and that really sucks, because we know the product was made. :S
