KR> What is wrong with Rand Robinson???
First off, I am not a normal complainer, but this is getting REALLY irritating now. This is kind of a vent, but I'm also looking for information if possible. I sent out my order for the plans on February 3rd, priority mail, to a city that is about 200 miles away from where I am right now. At the time, I figured I was looking at about 2 weeks or so. 3 weeks later, I started calling. I know, there is only one lady running the place, and it is not her full time job. But she had to have been getting my messages. She finally answered (I think it was a mistake) one day, and said "Oh yes, I have your check in my hands right now, I'll get the plans in the mail TODAY, priority mail." That was last Monday. It is now 11 days later. Priority mail does not take that long. Am I getting scammed here? I know others have been receiving their plans, but I feel like I'm being scammed. I don't know if I should go to small claims court to get the money back or what, but suddenly, what was an exciting journey towards building an airplane is beginning to feel like more of a chore than it should have been. If it takes this long to get the plans in, what about something else I'm going to need from them? She mentioned that some parts are only available through Rand Robinson. Am I looking at a multiple month wait for a single part that I have to have to continue? Very dejected, and a moment away from using my wood kit to build a bird house, Nick Brennan nickdbren...@comcast.net

WTF ? OK, I'm rather new here, but is this typical of KR2 builders ? Is this typical of the people who build them ? Sounds like it is typical of Rand Robinson.. Guys, I guess you're not worried about ever selling your plane due to the product liability issues because this type of behavior only hurts the "band" name I worked for Mercedes a while back. They understand this. Ever notice how Mercedes here are ONLY loaded leather interior cars with only leather seats and automatics but in Europe you see the same car with a manual and no options ? Well, to the factory every car is specifically ordered. MB-USA ONLY orders fully loaded MB for here to keep the band name synonymous with luxury and quality When we have experiences like this, Like RED's response, like Nick is having, it only reduces the value of our own plane / project. If that is what this community is about, maybe it is time to cut my losses and start a different project in the next tax bracket, in hopes it will at least have perceived value to when done. -dave

Suggest you take this argument off=list.. The gentleman was only airing his disgust with the way RR was handling the situation.. Telling someone they are going to go in the mail today PRIORITY MAIL and 11 days later still no plans; seems like he has a very good beef with RR..

Ron I'm with you, this argument belongs somewhere else, and Nick , if you would like, I have an extra set of plans that I would be happy to mail to you to start looking over and get started, if you agree to return them when your set gets there. send an email to my own email address with your postal mailing address if you want me to mail them. I have my own set that I am working from, milled every part of lumber and most all of the metal parts totally from scratch myself. It is a fun project.

I found this on the web - and found it to be true - I have experience delivery times as long a 3 weeks in the past. - The scam may be the Post Office and "Priority Mail" "Postal Service Priority Mail: The Postal Service advertises 2-3 business days for delivery and they deliver Monday through Saturday except Holidays. However, the Postal Service does NOT Guarantee Priority Mail shipping time. While many shipments will arrive in 2-3 days after shipping, it is not uncommon for a Priority mail shipment to take longer to arrive at its destination.
