So, let’s start with the good news.
It’s over, Sam.
Amazingly, after being 20 emails deep in the chain, more tweets, posts, and exchanges on Kickstarter than I care to try to tally up, the part arrived. It was unbroken, and the same color as the rest of the table, and no tiny midget assassins leapt from the box, intent on my imminent demise and wipe my posting history.
Yeah, I was shocked as hell, too.
We’re still missing a pile of accessories that we paid for. I asked Rick what he wanted to do, and he shrugged. “If they come, they come.”
So that’s where we are. A horrible customer experience, and complete apathy and lethargy in the wake of something we were truly excited to be getting.
What a wonderfully gross example of a quintessential moment of adult life.
For the folks that haven’t received their stuff yet, the best advice I can give is to hound relentlessly. Report Table of Ultimate Gaming to Kickstarter as fraud for not giving the rewards. Email support@woodenbot, mina@woodenbot.com, and melissa@woodenbot.com daily, asking them why they haven’t followed up. Post to their Facebook and YouTube pages until your banned, and on Twitter after that, where they can’t ban you.
Best of luck, guys. You’re gonna need it.
