When I placed my order they were showing "current inventory". Unless they are lying that suggests stock, not pre-orders. They are pre-orders, it says on the order page Phil It certainly does on the home page. But when you go to the item, all colours show a quantity of "current inventory". In my language that means stock. If this isn't the case then they are being very naughty. I don't understand anything anymore.  |

Are they not bound to be "processing" as this is really a pre order, nothing is going to be shipped till the end of the month. When I placed my order they were showing "current inventory". Unless they are lying that suggests stock, not pre-orders. |

It's worth reading the email Heaven Gifts send, they have only returned to work on the 18th after another blooming holiday. This doesn't explain the Paypal refunds but it might explain why some are still "processing".
See below:
"Sorry that HG is on weeekend and holiday from Sep. 13 to Sep. 17. We will return to work on Sep. 18. And it takes 2-3 days for us to process all the backlogs. Thank you for your understanding!"

It`s the usual from TW, they say they are still in production and wont be available for an estimated 6 weeks. So far they haven`t told me a price. So it`s gonna take a while. We`ll have to keep an eye on Pink Mule and maybe Bargainvapour as well as Focal maybe. Just checked their site, they are looking £55 normal price for an MVP that is a good bit less than half that from Aliexpress. £55!!! Another example of TW taking the p##s. Myepack have MVP V2's for £36.99.  |

Nice find. Only got blue in stock, so I bought one. It's $36.50 - 15% until the end of Sept. Add in $20 for DHL express, total $51.02 or about £36. Blooming marvellous. Using DHL means you may have to pay Duty on your order.  Thanks, but I was aware of that and have factored that into my overall budget. Hopefully I'll get away with it as the item price was $31 or about £19 |

Go on, you know you wanna. Had another look at the website just now, ALL COLOURS NOW IN STOCK. where is that please? All I see are pre-orders Pick a colour and look for current inventory (next to the quantity selector). They were all zero last night, except blue. Also the "Add to cart" button is now active on all colours. Again, they were all pre-order except blue last night. |
