Thread: Re-visiting the Silkvein Hone from Southern Africa

If you post any pics of those purple ones I will have to quit smoking to afford the payments on 1. IF the viens ran the other way I would be on my way to CVS right now getting the Nicoderm patch :<0)

Micheal appears to be alive & well and mentioned that he has a small cache of uncut Silkvein stones available.
I put in an order for a 2x8 that I'm excited to receive & use. I requested a purple stone so we'll see what ends up shipping; color wasn't a condition of the purchase... just a request. Maybe I'll make good use of the lead time and build a nice base for the stone before it comes in.

How long did it take for you to receive your Silkvein? I talked to Michael via Email several times before placing my order, he was very fast at answering questions. but as soon as I placed my order (Aug 28th) I have sent three emails asking for an update and no reply. The website just shows 'processing'
I am a pretty patient guy, and as long as I know what to expect I can be ok with it, but not knowing anything kind of freaks me out.

I am looking forward to testing out my new Silkvein, and compare it to my ZuluGrey.

Any suggestions, I am all ears, and thank you for your time.

It took almost 2 months for some Zulu's years ago, but they get here & I have never heard of anyone placing an order from Michael, that did not get their stone.

If you ordered it on the 28th,,, then I would be shocked if you had already received it.

I just pulled up the emails and it took 8 weeks from the time I paid until the stone was shipped. I opened a PayPal dispute prior to 60 days, and closed it once tracking on the order was provided.

Sorry to hear about your delays.

WOW, there was no indication that the stones were backordered, in fact he is running a 30% off sale and it reads as if Silkvein is in stock, a few weeks ago when it said 'coming soon' I am a pretty patient guy but things like this drive me nuts, a simple reply to my multiple emails could have cleared it up without needing to ask in the forums. For example when I ordered my SG20k Stu let me know the wait times and expected long deliveries. I was cool with it because I was given info.
Regards,

Not making excuses for Michael, but all t to f his stones are cut and polished as their ordered, he just has the rocks in stock, and sometimes he has a few already done. Kinda like Harley did in the 90,s with thei bikes you had to order before it was built. But he will get it to you, plus even after it leaves SA customs union s pretty tough too. But yes he could have just responded to your concerns. Let us know how It works. Tc

When I bought mine a few years ago it took a long time to get but not his fault. Their Post office was on strike so my stones sat for a while. I did get them.
