Well this is interesting, I ordered my #7 in June. My invoice says a ship date of 7/22 and I still haven't received it or have a firm ship date. I guess they use some other means of determining who gets their K than by order date. Strange.

Someone on this forum profoundly remarked that "the Kamado will arrive when the Kamado is ready to arrive." I guess that is part of the Zen of Kamado.

I realize they take time to produce. I'm hoping to get it before we get our first snowfall here in the northeast. I'd really like it for Thanksgiving.
All I want is an answer to my emails, with a simple update, that's all.


Insane, isn't it? This poor "Bobinva" fellow has been waiting since JUNE! That's 4 months, people! Of course, the Kamado people will be able to find a way to blame HIM for the delays. And, I just can't believe anyone would have the guts to tell this poor guy that it's the "zen" of Kamado! That "the Kamado will arrive when the Kamado is ready to arrive."

What would a sane persons reaction be to the above response? You've waited 4 months for a cooker and others have received theirs before you after ordering well after you did. Would you meditate upon it? Would you chant?

I'd be chanting all right!

I think the "deleter" must be on vacation. Smile There could be some great posts made if this keeps up.

I didn't tolerate it any more as soon as I discovered there was a competitor.

The deleter is too busy telling the new customer service guy that he can't resolve any complaints, and that he must learn to avoid all contact with anyone that is not offering up a deposit.

Actually, that quote came from a post on the usenet: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.food.barbecue/browse_frm/thread/f87 e1308d1d3fb90/d5854ad7dc72a580?lnk=st&q=kamado+zen+ready&rnum=1&hl=en# d5854ad7dc72a580

Though I may disagree with the poster that the Kamado family is merely incompetent, it's a beautifully written post. And it taught me the word "Kafkaesque." Which, once I looked it up, describes the Kompany to a T.

Kafkaesque: characterized by surreal distortion and a sense of impending danger... (The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004.)

How could he possibly insult the 3 Stooges like that Shocked

... seen other owners suggest that dealing with Kamado was in some sense Kafkaesque. To me, Kafka suggests an underlying indifference to human concerns, perhaps even some sort of malevolence. I think that exaggerates the case with Kamado. After some consideration, my preferred metaphor is the Three Stooges. Imagine if Moe, Larry and Curly were put in charge of a factory that mysteriously turned out the world's best BBQ units. Sit back and enjoy the experience. Take notes so that you can tell the stories better.

If they had the Stooges in there, it would be run twice as effeciently as with the current clowns...that Curly was quite a looker wasn't he Shocked
