[Update3] 4 people reached out to me about not receiving board. I have called and messaged 80 on wechat multiple times, and zero response from him afterwards. Looks like he is ghosting again. PM me if you want his WeChat number or QQ group number. Unfortunately, I did not participate in his GB payment collection or fulfillment and only helped him translate the post. So there is not much I can help with further. I heard in one china group that 80 is still planning to run a GB, if that is the case, I will let the GB participants to refrain from joining any future GB before refunding the 4 orders.
[Update2] I got in touch with 80, and he informed me that he thought all were shipped and was unaware of the few unshipped boards. His family members were helping him and they don’t know English well. But in anyways, if you have not received your board (not a bad PCB or other parts, just the unshipped board), please PM me for details, and 80 agreed to refund or ship those unshipped items. Thanks. I hope this is resolved soon.
[Update1]
Last I communicated with 80ultraman, he mentioned he would refund certain amount to broken LED PCBs and all boards seem to be shipped. Given that he took over all the communication, I had not followed up with this, particularly after I considered this GB closed. It appears not the case. There are a few who have not received their boards. My suggestion is to email him again about refunding your money, and give PayPal another call and see what they can do. I’d be happy to share what I know about him via PM, which I would rather not share publicly.
Sorry for those who did not receive their boards. I changed the title to 99% shipped. I have been trying all angles to get in touch with him or his close friends and I managed to talk to a few people (he still has not replied directly yet). If I can get a hold of either him or the unshipped boards, I will update here. And for those who did not receive their boards, please do feel free to reach out to me.
