I feel for the customers who feel riped off by qubd. I also feel for qubd. Here's what's going down:
You don't just wake up one day and decide to build a company that makes 3d printers. Generally you see a product out there, as qubd did with makerbots extrusion systems, and you see oportunity to enter the market. There are massive profit margins in the 3d printing industry for companies like makerbot, stratasys, cube, what have you. Yet, the products they put out are thoroughly vetted and have brand recognition. Customers feel comfortable paying ridiculous amounts of money for products that aren't all that complicated.
On the flip side, you have off-brand clones from China that flood the market and show a more accurate metric of the products real market value. For a company to exist in this space, it has to tow the line of both the quality that's expected from a name brand and the price expected from a clone. On top of that, they are not afforded the luxary of absorbing negative feedback as a price of doing business like the clone brands have.
The consumers who buy into qubd as a name brand need to realize that it is really the same as buying from an off shore company. They will ship a product, but there are absolutely no gaurentees for either quality or lead time. In the case of any manufacturer that bites off more than it can chew, negative reviews are simply the cost of doing business.

Chelsea - QU-BD
@EddyP Please e-mail me directly at [email protected] so I can look it up as I don't know what order you have as I don't know based on your username who you are. Also it is not countless people, please check the refund request thread and you can see that refunds are being fulfilled for those that ask for them and you can see the number of people that have asked, it is a handful relative to the 10's of thousands of customers that we have.
Also note that while he did not post about it here JKERR received everything that he requested. I'm sure he will pop in and confirm at some point.

Wow,
It is astounding how many people will write a book if they have problems and no one pipes up if everything goes ok..
I ordered a OneUp and a spool of PLA on thursday and It shipped in 3 days on sunday afternoon. (these folks are working weekends). USPS shows the shipment has been processed and is moving across the states. I have also looked online and found many happy people learning and printing with a kit that cost them under 250$ total. I was not able to find that anyplace else and that was the limit of my budget for this project.
Thank you Chelsea and Team for the rapid service.

I think it's funny when people create trash accounts. made today, posted only one today. Obvious?
I don't even ever care what it's for, I never legitimately read it. Just tickles me seeing a one day one post account trying to praise someone/somecompany.

My apologies to those of you who related negative experiences. My intention was not to down play or excuse them for your issues. I was only trying to point out that there is more than one type of result possible when dealing with them.
MrDoctorDIV,
I do find the following attitude distasteful.

The fact that I am new to this forum should not negate what I say. I assume you believe your first post 3 months ago should have been ignored by everyone and you expected no answers or help with your questions and BOM,
Again no offense was intended by my first post.

Just because he hasn't drunk the koolaid, doesn't mean he's a plant. Not everyone with a differing point of view is part of a conspiracy theory.
