Received an update from Vans as I was typing my reply. Appreciate the option to hold my money until they are ready to deliver.
“ Due to a number of unanticipated internal and external manufacturing delays associated with critical components for your kit, we've had to extend your estimated kit crating schedule. Delays related to materials acquisition, the resulting manufacturing impacts, and delays with some third-party manufacturers have combined to slow the completion of your kit. This change is reflected in the new dates displayed below.
In anticipation of your upcoming crating window we previously requested - and you submitted - your final payment. Due to this unplanned delay, we would like to offer you the option of receiving a refund of your final payment amount until we get closer to crating your kit. Should you choose to receive that payment refund we will maintain your 25% deposit on the order and will maintain your place in line and we will reach out to you regarding final payments when we get closer to your new estimated crating schedule and have the critical parts required to pack your kit.”
