Hello everybody,
Thank you so much for your understanding and your tremendous support during these uncertain times.
Given all of your feedbacks, I decided not to ship.
Your opinion weighted a lot, thank you for sharing it with me.
It was a good call, as yesterday I got an email from La Poste.
They informed their customers about a few things.
1) They start operating for a 4th day in the week from now.
(They did work only three days as of last week and since the lockdown)
2) They are at least one week behind schedule in the international sorting center.
3) They asked to refrain sending non-vital goods, and especially to 3 countries : USA, Canada and Japan.
It was mentioned that delivery times for these destinations is very much impacted.
This is very uncomfortable to retain so many orders. However there is hope for things to get better very soon.
Don't worry please. Your parcels are here, with your Coldkeys (and much more).
Your bits are safe : they are sitting on their funding addresses. I take this very seriously.
Sometimes it's hard for me to reply to all of you individually;
please do not take this personally and feel free to reach out to me again if I didn't reply.
I'll be implementing a new loading feature with a two factor mechanism to trigger the loading of the Coldkeys.
The point is to make sure the person who picked up the parcel is the person who placed the order and who funded it.
Think about that: Maybe you got the info, they where not delivered and you resend them - but finally they they were delivered. It will not be so fine, if many years later unloaded cards appear at the scene. These cards then will be very rare - do we want this?
That is Indeed a great point. I definitely don't want this.
It weighted a lot in my choice of finally not sending the parcels.
I wanted to ship them because they're ready, and the shipping labels are valid until a certain time.
They are valid until the 14th of May for most parcels. I expect things to get much better by that point.
I will most likely reopen them to add the May History Coldkeys for subscribers.
Thank you for everything.
