Shipping News
I thought I had updated here on Indiegogo last week, but apparently I forgot. Sorry, I worked 60 hours at my normal job and was shipping every day. So here is the update.
I received a large shipment of Gray Glass, and smaller shipment of Amber and Green glass also Gray, Green, Amber Polycarbonate. Single order Gray Glass shipped in the United States this past week all completing that segment of backers.
This week will be the international single order Gray Glass. This will cover all single order gray glass orders which are the majority of Backers. I will be getting the poly carbonates that I have out this week as well.
I am expecting one last large shipment from the factory in the next week or so which covers the rest of the campaign.
As always, I appreciate all the patience and support you have given me over this long slog.

I just got off the phone with DHL there is a large shipment of glasses that are clearing customs right now. There will be another large shipment clearing customs at the end of next week as well. The end is near. For real.

Small Update.
I am expecting a very large shipment to me in the next 10-15 days. This shipment should include most of the remaining glass orders and much of the PolyCarbonate as well. I will have a better idea after I skype with factory on Thursday.
Just keeping you in the loop. We are so close to having this done. I really appreciate all you have been through with the frustration of fulfillment. Soon to be over.

Finally Positive News!!!
To that in a moment. First, I want to thank all of you who have written emails of encouragement and support I cannot express how much those words have meant to me, especially at the most difficult times. We certainly have been through a journey together one that was more difficult than I had expected, but worth it in the end.
The Good News
The difficulty we were having in production has been solved and all orders are being made right now. I should receive everything in the next 45 days. It will be in batches as before, but not at the limited quantity. The issue was technical that had to be 'retro-engineered' and had to do with the side-shields. There is the light at the end of the tunnel for all of us!
I have been as transparent as possible through this and done the best I could with the obstacles that were laid in front of me. We are now at the end of that and I am set to receive all of your orders and then I will ship to you.
Future Production
Having solved the Side-Shield issue. My future production runs can be in the several thousand unit range and delivered in 90 days. So a huge hurdle has been overcome. While I was skeptical at first after a 90 minute skype with engineers and factory owners I am confident that a corner has been turned. I can now move forward on many levels.
Eagle 48s
The Side-Shield difficulty prohibited a quality sample being made of the Eagle Model. That is now fixed and the Eagles will land at the end of September. Early Eagle adopters will get a special email with some more details shortly. The Eagle 48 LOOKS GREAT, and will be available for Pre-Order soon. This is what I have received.
I am very excited to add these to the O'Riginals Family. As many of you are as well. For those interested in these I will announce on the Facebook Fanpage when I pre-sell. I am sure many will wait until they have their Sterlings first.
O'Riginal Spheres
The Spheres are another product that will pre-sell starting in June when I get the sample. They will be 50mm perfectly round lenses with the one bar Side-Shield like on the Sterling. My engineer says they are her favorite so far. Those will be dropping at the same time as the Eagles.
Finally, with all the difficulties solved O'Riginals can truly fly and become the company I have envisioned and you have put your faith in.
Onward,
Sean
