Ravensburg, Germany

I ordered a Pope Shield Magnetic and the appropriate ring 5 weeks ago.  At the time I ordered the stated wait time for production was 3 weeks.  After 3 weeks, the website stated that orders of a certain order number range, including mine, would be shipped at the end of that week (week 3).  The website plainly states that if you wish to have the tracking number, to ask and they will provide it.

At the beginning of week 4, which was after the latest shipping estimation on their website, I asked for the tracking number.  A few days passed and no answer.  So, I politely asked again.  I got a nice reply apologizing for the delay in shipping and that my order would ship the next day (Thursday of week 4).  I waited a day and asked for a tracking number.  No answer.  Waited another day, and politely asked again.  That was yesterday and still no answer.  Now, their homepage states that they are working hard and that the expected time to produce and ship is currently 4 weeks.  Tomorrow will be 5 weeks since I placed my order.

On their shipping info page, the information has not been updated in 2 weeks and still states that the expected shipping time is 3 weeks.

Hopefully, it will arrive soon.  I don't want to cancel my order and I am trying to remain patient.

This is only my experience and I am not offering any opinion or advice about purchasing this diffusor.
