rbmotion still taking orders?

[sah5150]

Hi folks,

New member here. I just got back into the hobby - haven't built anything since I was a kid (I'm 65 next week).

A few days ago I made a rather sizable order (~ $195) @ rbmotion (https://www.rbmotion.shop/). There was no indication anywhere on the site that they were not in business or not taking orders and the checkout function worked and allowed me to pay via Venmo. I got a confirmation email after my purchase.

I wouldn't even be thinking about this since it's only been aa few days, however, I saw a thread here where it seemed that the owner of rbmotion was taking a break until January 2025 or possibly later.

Has anyone ordered from rbmotion since the break? Does anyone know if he is back in business? I assume so, since it would seem bad form to leave a working checkout function on the website and no notification of a break.

I've emailed the yahoo email provided in my confirmation email from my purchase, but did not hear back.

Just looking to get some information here if anyone is in the know.

Thanks in advance for any info!

And just for the heck of it, here is what I'm working on:

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum.

There is an Information link on their page with the owners name and a link to contact him. Did you try that?

Thanks much for the welcome, Dennis. Yes - I did email him, but as of now, I haven't heard back.

I received an email from Robert at rbmotion today. All is well and he said he can fill my order in a couple of weeks. There are a lot of orders ahead of mine as demand is high and he’s really the only one doing this. Anyway, looks like no issue here and I just jumped the gun because of the previous posts about him being on a break from awhile ago.

Cool, glad to know he's still out there, or back, whatever.

Site is closed again for a month. Too many orders for one person to handle according to the site now..

Absolutely - no one is really doing what he is doing product-wise!
