Hi everyone, Paul here from Valiant Metal Works. I'm here to give everyone an update as to what is going on. I want to touch base
on a couple of things and inform you guys where I'm at in regards to delivery of your machines which I know you've paid good
money for. First off, you guys deserve more than what I've been giving in regards to being up to date and informed with the
status of your machines. Talk is cheap and integrity and trust is worth more than anything. That is something that I haven't
been giving and something that I've been losing and possibly lost with a lot of you. Saying something and not following through is
not right regardless of intention or expectation. You guys are justified in how you feel and I'm not going to defend myself
and give you excuses. Whenever I gave anyone times or dates for shipping, I did expect and intend to do so at those times. But
like I said, expectation and intention means nothing really and for that I am sorry. You are right to feel wronged if you feel that
way. You are right to feel cheated if you feel that way. I have been a douchebag in this debacle for sure. There are reasons for my actions
but none that are justified as they were selfish reasons. Reasons that had to do with me not stressing and just focusing on getting these done
and done right. I can honestly say that I have only been working on your machines non stop, everyday. No tattooing and no sidejobs. Im not running
off with anyone's money. I sold a batch of 25 and that's it. Since then I've had no income. So holding off on shipping your machines has cost me more
than you think. I'm not saying this to make you feel sorry for me. Simply stating where I'm at and what's going on. Shipping a couple machines out
before Xmas and then taking Xmas off. After that, shipping a couple every couple of days until it's all done. Total time frame should be within 2 to 3
weeks for everyone to have their machines. I don't want to give a solid date but I promise to keep you more informed on what's going on and that you'll have your
machines soon. For the people that want refunds, I'll take care of you when I can and I can't put an exact time on that but just know that it will be
as soon as possible as I've been borrowing money to get by. Again, not a good reason or excuse but just where I'm at with regards to that. I'll take care of that
within a reasonable amount of time and not months out. If you have contacted me about a refund through email or pm on here or FB I will contact you right after xmas.
In the future everything will all be explained as to what has been going on exactly but that is for another time. I'm not going to ask anything
from you guys in terms of understanding. I just have to do what needs to be done. I'll be in touch more like I should've been from the start.
I hold no ill will towards anyone. You guys are justified. Sorry for everything. Feel free to reply. I will answer everyone. I will be checking pms tomorrow.
I'm not in jail or hurt but the stress just hit me harder than a freight train. I brought this on myself.
