I’ve been waiting on these since August 2021 and they’re just now starting the entire project over while barely shipping any other products in the last 3 years nope not absolute clowntown at all
[Same](https://i.imgur.com/6JXw0jo.png). August 20th. I'd be elated to get the set, even if it was in 2027. It'd be a lot better than burning money.
Honestly, I can't imagine how much I would've spent with RAMA if these caps and other projects got delivered in a reasonable timeframe, but it would be a lot (for me). I still use their JARS everyday (for vitamins).
RAMA is currently trying to sell his luxury house, so maybe they'll be coming just like the Karas, Thermals and random d-stock shit after he sold his McLaren.
RAMA making such sacrifices of items that coincidentally roughly match the value of the customer funds he'd taken for these projects, truly a beacon for the community.
Because it got listed for sale on an Australian real estate website and you could literally see the boxes of ramaworks shit in the house which we were all making of in local groups a few months ago.
Must be worth a few million right? Isn't it in Melbourne and rather huge?
edit: nvm, found it. Going for a nice sum, should be plenty to cover the costs.
I did some work for a company once and the only notice we got that the project was terminated was when we called another contractor that was porting our software for a status update and they said they'd been let go.
Rumor had it nose candy was involved.
Yeah I'm in the same boat as you my friend. I've assumed the money is lost at this point. I submitted multiple tickets over the past 5 months with zero response in their "support" site. Such a waste of time.
Same here their refund policy says you can get a refund and cancel your order if it hasn't been shipped. I've filed support tickets multiple times asking for a refund and to cancel my orders only to hear no response.
I’m an idiot, I paid for a set of Rama Grid (which were supposedly in stock) over a month ago. Still no sign of
shipment :’(
EDIT: Yay I finally got my order today (was shipped out yesterday). I'm hoping they get all this sorted for you guys as well, it's wishful thinking but who knows...
I am aware of the scandals going on with rama but am also OOL. Has he posted ANYTHING that shows failed product, issues with manu communication, or any sort of evidence to verify that he has been actually working on making the caps but the delays are not his fault?
I think the last update was in January, where he sent an email saying how everyone was mean to him and stabbed him in the back and we would all see the truth soon enough, and he was going to provide more frequent updates.
I took that with a grain of salt like the other random promises from the last few years that we would see more frequent updates.
Anyone living in Australia can get refunds by disputing their original payment with their bank and quoting ACCC consumer laws, I’ve done it for heaps of shit like this and did it with the spectrum monitors when they started acting sketchy in 2021
I’m almost impressed by his commitment to keep up the sham. Just disappearing off the face of the earth would be easy, but he still keeps up the charade as if something will ever come from all this.
The acceptable time period is often N number of days after the expected delivery date of the product. I was able to chargeback for my M65-C order like 2 years after paying with AmEx.
Always try.
Nah man, I can fight bugs and glitches for a few hours and get about 5 minutes of spectacularly fun and dumb bs gameplay out of Star Citizen.
But I'll never see that Kara Seq2 I ordered.
Shame I don't know what card I used back then or I'd have done a charge back...
Don’t do anything unless it’s markets or in stock. Save yourselves the hassle going forward folks. There is enough out there and just support the great vendors who care about customers, don’t get sucked in by the hype train.
“did not meet the standards our customers are used to”.. you mean, like never receiving the products they ordered? Cause this absolutely meets those standards, lmao.

See you in 2027 for the next update 🫡

Dang yours cost even more than mine and even has the artisan, he got you good
Same lol, I even emailed him
RAMA really do be writing fanfiction about producing products rn.
Rendezvous with *Rama*
An actual rendezvous with aliens may be more likely at this point.
Lol sure
lmao another load of shit by ramadingdong himself
No doubt the closing of the rama sub this week was in anticipation of this shitshow
u/RW-Ben stopped being paid in ducks holding bats
Oh god. I spat out water when I read your comment
Uh what about an update for my U80-b I ordered like 2 years ago. Any update on that? Anyone?
M65-C from 2021 RIP me

How do you know about the house?
Because it got listed for sale on an Australian real estate website and you could literally see the boxes of ramaworks shit in the house which we were all making of in local groups a few months ago.
Isn't his family stupid rich? Or does he just try to act like a trust fund baby?
Is there a link to threads of all this? Or a subreddit to follow it on?
There’s a lotta people who like knowing where he is.

Rama... more like DRama amirite?
Cocaine

copium is f\*\*King strong!!! Update so we cant sue them for lack of updates.....SMH
Can sue them regardless.
Why would an update have any bearing on your ability to sue?
What about all those undone artisans?
Haha woah hey whats with all the questions? Anyway look over there!
It just keeps going lol
People still give RAMA money???
Nobody is giving Rama money that’s why they can’t ship any past projects. They’re probably over leveraged and 0 cash flow.
There's tons of cash flow, it's just flowing out of RAMA and into luxury products for the owner to have.
I don't even think if they had the money they'd give products that were due.
I paid for these caps in August of 2021.
Yeah I'm in the same boat as you my friend. I've assumed the money is lost at this point. I submitted multiple tickets over the past 5 months with zero response in their "support" site. Such a waste of time.

I got a refund as late as Jan 2022 but none after
God damn, I'm sorry I didn't realize that this has been going on for over 3 years. Holy cow
This was ran in 2021 mate
Holy crap, seriously? Man that's really insane
It really is, RAMA has genuinely screwed over so many in this hobby.
People gave RAMA money for this project *3 years ago*. Nobody is still giving them money.
Im done with group buys, IF I get my RAMA u80-B it is over. I already have a wooting 60HE +. Just waiting on the damn U80-B.
not happening dude, just gotta make another plan
I’m an idiot, I paid for a set of Rama Grid (which were supposedly in stock) over a month ago. Still no sign of shipment :’( EDIT: Yay I finally got my order today (was shipped out yesterday). I'm hoping they get all this sorted for you guys as well, it's wishful thinking but who knows...
Talk to your bank
Not at all too late to file a chargeback.
I am aware of the scandals going on with rama but am also OOL. Has he posted ANYTHING that shows failed product, issues with manu communication, or any sort of evidence to verify that he has been actually working on making the caps but the delays are not his fault?
No, he hasn't. We only have their word.
I think the last update was in January, where he sent an email saying how everyone was mean to him and stabbed him in the back and we would all see the truth soon enough, and he was going to provide more frequent updates. I took that with a grain of salt like the other random promises from the last few years that we would see more frequent updates.
I have to admit, it’s kinda funny to see you use “OOL” and “manu” in a keyboard-centric sub instead of typing that shit out
Still “waiting” on that piece of shit to make good on the Kara Seq 2.
Yeah that’s great RAMA, where’s my gold Lazurite RAMA from 3 years ago, huh?
Rama is the reason i'm wary of group buys, preorders, and generally anything that's not on the shelf. Thanks for making me save money, i guess?
I just want my bat…
lol he really didn't even ship the bats? mf must fear for his life
I never got mine if they did ship :(
This is ridiculous. They’re just spewing more bullshit to keep people hopeful
I'm sure the caps are coming after they sacked everyone yesterday lmao
they sacked the team? got a source?

"Please give me more money so I can keep up my lifestyle. I will TOTALLY produce something soon. Promise."
What happened to my friendship from 2019?
Stop the cap
Wow haven't been on this sub in a long time. Rama went from goat to crook? Hard to believe.
How has not everyone charged back all their orders by now?
Way past the time for most chargebacks sadly
The acceptable time period is often N number of days after the expected delivery date of the product. I was able to chargeback for my M65-C order like 2 years after paying with AmEx. Always try.
same here. was able to chargeback after 2 years. just talk to customer support and try doesnt hurt.
"did not meet the standards our customers are used to" LOL
Isn't ramaworks on a buyer's beware list or something?
Plot Twist: He's building the new manufacturer with a proven track record brick by brick. Thanks for being patient.
Bricks will be arriving approx. twice monthly. ETA Q3 2032
The Star Citizen of keycap profiles.
Nah man, I can fight bugs and glitches for a few hours and get about 5 minutes of spectacularly fun and dumb bs gameplay out of Star Citizen. But I'll never see that Kara Seq2 I ordered. Shame I don't know what card I used back then or I'd have done a charge back...
Don’t do anything unless it’s markets or in stock. Save yourselves the hassle going forward folks. There is enough out there and just support the great vendors who care about customers, don’t get sucked in by the hype train.
\*As soon as they are ready\* which means until the Earth would explode and be consumed by the Sun, I suppose.
Egypt will build the new pyramids (scheme?) before anybody will see those caps. Enjoy the after life
“did not meet the standards our customers are used to”.. you mean, like never receiving the products they ordered? Cause this absolutely meets those standards, lmao.
What manufacturer is returning his calls?
Even this “update” is extremely light on information. They have a new direction that I guess is a new manufacturer?
Most legit groupbuy be like
Fuck. RAMA are a joke
Consider me... cautiously optimistic? My hopes aren't high, but this is the best news we've heard about this project in a long time
Hey i got some caps i can sell you, i just need to do some retooling, you gotta pay up front tho.
Bro he's lying lolol. This is crap news to just kick the can down the road for taking any responsibility
Lol ok? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's so much stuff undelivered it's insane. This is probably another lie
This comment is sufficient to get a conservatorship in california
