SE MI here, but caved and ordered 2 online a few weeks ago... suppose to be shipping in another 1-2 weeks. Right now most of my suit is done, just in pieces coming in deliveries
Anyone have some advice on mounting these to an ALICE frame?

I thought I heard zipties before, glad we picked up a bag of 100! Doing my build while the wife does hers. We're both using Spirit packs, but I'm going more of a 1/2 look, she's going more 2016.

But since I'm Canadian I can't view the straight order status and need to contact the order status department if I want to know exactly (which I haven't done). I figure I'll ge5 a shipped e-mail when it ships though.
I'm excited to have one eventually. I'm only 161cm tall so even though it's 70-80% size it should be good. I'm going to do the alice frame modification when it comes.

I've seen how small the gun is and was wondering if anyone has an inside view if it.

I might go with that approach.

For anyone waiting/wondering about their own, my order placed on 8/28 just shipped today. So if you placed your own order around 8/28, I would keep an eye out for the shipping confirmation.
- October 7th, 2017, 12:01 pm#4899297
That's good to know, I placed mine on 8/30, so hoping that they are just processing their orders now by the time in which they were placed. I sure hope they get to mine ASAP , I want to get customizing!

Same here. Got my order shipping notification today. Just as I was thinking about cancelling and taking my chances in the wild...

I finally found one in a spirit store today so I went online and cancelled my order via chat. Interestingly, this is the canned email I got....hopefully this isn't the same email everyone will end up getting. Sounds like they might be preparing for a shortage. I sure hope not.

See, now you guys have me worried.
I grabbed mine in the 2nd week of September, just before they went out of stock for a few days.
If they are going to cancel orders that might be the cutoff.
Guess I'll find out in the next week. Need to know soon as I've waited on grabbing a frame until I know I have the pack.

But this thread really peaked my anxiety in the meantime. So I think instead of panicking orders will suddenly be canceled, someone should contact them with their fears? They still list it as "in stock" and they've already had it listed as "sold out" 2 or 3 times to make sure existing orders were filled? I can't see them suddenly becoming frivolous on accepting orders they don't plan to fill. They give the advice that the item might not ship until October 18TH too. But, yeah, let's not panic without more information!

I'm still jittery on my order. My brother says his shipped so I'm waiting on mine. Problem was the Spirit site was finicky when I was trying to order so I used Spencers. Charge has been pendings since its order on 9/1. I'm half curious which will arrive first: the pack or the Alice frame.

I ordered my pack on 10/1 after I heard they were back in stock. On 10/4 I got an email notification that a shipping label was created but I still wasn’t charged yet. I just checked today and they charged my card. Hopefully this means it’ll ship soon. Email did say expect to ship October 18.
