BulletTrain SAFE WALLET Preview

BulletTrain SAFE WALLET Preview

Plus Some Amazing Charging Dock

Compatible with SAFE WALLET

At BulletTrain we moved our production from China to the United States which slowed everything way down, but I have some great news to share with you today. We are ALMOST done with the development of our SAFE WALLET 12 Pro Max model and hope to offer it for sale in the next few months. I have been testing production prototypes for many months now and our all-new design is beyond perfect in all ways. Below are some photos of my personal SAFE WALLET 12 Pro Max in my office siting on an amazing Anker QI charging dock with also charges AirPods.

One of the really cool features of this dock is you an also use it to watch video while it is charging as seen below elevated in a super stable way.

In the next image we see my SAFE WALLET 12 Pro Max charging on the dock with the door open. You can't see it in the photo but the SAFE WALLET is not only secured via magnets but also there is a strong support ledge built into the SAFE WALLET that supports it even more so it can't slip or slide downward. Also, I have our new SAFE SHIELD installed on my iPhone which is completely invisible. In other words, if I handed you my SAFE WALLET and asked you if you thought I had a screen protector on my phone there is a 98% chance you would not be able to detect it. —Super Clean!!!

This last image (below) shows the ANKER dock on my desk that I put a BulletTrain logo stick on to personalize it. I invested thousands of hours and a great deal of capital working on developing our own SAFE DOCK but never brought it to life as it was never up to my standard as a designer. The design was great but the charging electronics were the issue. I have to say the Anker Dock is a work of art and the only think I would do differently is offer an all-black version as well. That being said, I still really like the white model.

As previously mentioned, we have been hard at work getting all the details dialed-in for American production and everything is going well. In the next few months we will be rolling out some amazing new products that are mind-blowing so stay tuned. Also, I am keeping my fingers crossed that Apple will keep the form factor identical for the iPhone 13 models so they are forward compatible with our new BulletProof Series 4 SAFE WALLET models. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

BELKIN

BOOST CHARGE PRO

2-in-1 Wireless Charger Stand with MagSafe

I have been experimenting like a crazy man with different charging docks, and in the photo below we see the Belkin high-end charger which has a built-in MagSafe certified fast-charger that can charge an iPhone 12 at 15 Watts along with AirPods at the same time! This is my new dock of choice for my desktop computers as it is a 100% stable working dock.

The Anker dock pictured above has a tilting swivel feature which is REALLY useful is situation like having it on a bedside table so you can angle the iPhone perfectly, but the drawback is that when you use your fingers on the iPhone screen for typing, navigating and gestures it bounces around, which can be overcome to a certain extent by placing your four finger behind it to stabilize it, but the Belkin is rock-solid and doesn't budge, so it is a PEFECT working dock. Basically there are two types of charging docks. Docks made for charging and viewing notifications, and then there are working docks that are ultra stable which make it much easier to work on it by typing or navigating...

So for me I will keep using the ANKER dock on my bedside table, in the kitchen, and I will use the Belkin on my desktops. Also, I like the fresh white look of Anker, but on my desktop all my accessories are blacked-out. Also, the Belkin looks more high-end as Belkin says it is inspired by architecture. Also, since the Belkin dock is a MagSafe certified fast-charger it makes sense to have it on my desktop, where in the kitchen and bedroom I don't need fast charging as much.

Also, the ANKER dock uses USB-C for charging and does NOT come with a USB-C charger, and the Belkin is NOT USB-C, but comes with a standard 110 plug.

12:40 PM — First shipment has taken place! This morning, EVERY pre-order and Kickstarter reward for the SAFE Wallet 6 Plus was dispatched from our warehouse!!!

I was CC'd on a massive email with a series of order numbers and corresponding tracking numbers. This data will be emailed to your email address on file this afternoon!

We're so pumped to be shipping the SAFE Wallet 6 Plus!!!

4:21 PM — I was just CC'd on an email from our warehouse account manager. The email confirmed shipment for all "backorders" (that's their term for pre-orders etc.) to ship tomorrow!!!

I wanted to share this great news with everyone, that the SAFE Wallet 6 Plus will be dispatching from our warehouse tomorrow :-)

Thanks everyone!

(earlier today)

1:00 PM — We have received confirmation that the merchandise has been received, and is being unpacked!

It doesn't look like shipment will commence today, unfortunately, BUT everything is being broken down now and prepared for dispatch to start tomorrow!

We're almost there, everyone!

The first production was supposed to reach the warehouse today!

Our cargo was on the truck, en route to the destination, but the truck was delayed in L.A. area afternoon traffic and ultimately did not arrive at our warehouse before the Receiving Department was closed for the day.

We're VERY surprised to have one more day of unexpected delay fall into place, but we are still 100% stoked to deliver the best wallet case your iPhone 6 Plus could ever ask for!!!

Here are our latest projections with today's events taken into account.

Tuesday, 9/29/15 — First Production checked into warehouse inventory. POSSIBLE some shipments will dispatch.
Wednesday, 9/30/15 — First Production shipment processing and dispatch. All pre-orders shipped!
Friday, 10/2/15 — U.S. Recipients begin receiving their SAFE Wallet 6 Plus!!!

That should be it! We're really excited to get this case into your hands!!! Thanks for hanging in there, everyone!

10:00 AM — We received confirmation that, since Customs clearance wasn't posted earlier in the day on Thursday, it was not scheduled in Friday's delivery routes.

Good news though, a delivery appointment with our warehouse has been set on Monday! Dispatch to customers should commence by Tuesday :-)

We wish inventory were delivered sooner, but we are excited nonetheless to have the First Production shipping out to customers this coming week!

Friday, September 25, 2015

9:00 AM — U.S. Customs is clear!

This morning, we received confirmation that IN FACT, our pallet cleared U.S. Customs yesterday (9/24/15) at 4:15 PM!!!

THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS!

If everything goes as planned, the product will arrive at our warehouse today, and be checked into inventory for dispatch on Monday 9/28/15!

I'm so pumped up to see everyone get their SAFE Wallets!!!!

***UPDATE***

10:38 AM — I just received confirmation that local parties are now communicating to schedule the delivery to our warehouse! This is a big day, everyone! More to come soon!

Thursday, September 24, 2015

5:00 PM — We expected today to be the day we received confirmation of dispatch from LAX, but our freight handlers are STILL waiting on the final sign-off from U.S. Customs to release the cargo.

Our freight rep believes this should be cleared up as early as tomorrow morning (Friday), or as late as Monday.

We wish we knew more, but will report tomorrow as soon as possible!!
-Alex (BulletTrain)

Wednesday, September 23, 2015

9:00 AM — We haven't gotten a decisive update to our delivery date from U.S. Customs, and the delivery date to our warehouse is still stated as 9/23 - 9/25 by our freight handlers :-)

We were notified that one piece of documentation needs to be updated. The necessary updates have been made to these documents, and they've been re-submitted.

We are expecting a solid update to clearly indicate when the cargo is leaving LAX by truck, and will share it as soon as possible!

***UPDATE***

10:17 AM — We've received some critical confirmations in the past hour!!!!!

Our freight handlers have reported the First Production is now in a "Checked-In" status, which is a precursory status to *official* clearance by Customs. Delivery to our warehouse by truck could commence as early as today!!! We will know more early this afternoon.
I had a conference call with our warehouse manager, and they are 100% prepared for our incoming cargo! This means we should see no delays between processing and shipment once the inventory is received!!! All shipment data has been confirmed on hand with our warehouse as well (Kickstarter backers, then BulletTrain.com customers).

Basically, it's starting to look more and more certain the First Production will be shipping from our warehouse very soon!!!

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

10:49 AM — Additional documentation has been added to our case with U.S. Customs! I am working on getting a hold of the contained information, and I should know more before the end of the day!

Our official "estimate" according to freight handling is 9/23/15 for delivery to the warehouse, but the information today should either confirm that date, or at the very least provide further clarity!

Monday, September 21, 2015

11:17 AM — U.S. Customs has opened our case! More to come soon as it develops.

***UPDATE***

5:08 PM — We've received confirmation via tracking that our First Production cargo has been inspected by U.S. Customs, and that the file has "remarks" for review.

This is a good sign, although I am yet unclear if there is further inspection, or if this means the cargo will be offloading as early as tomorrow... but a good sign nonetheless!!!

I have a call in with our freight handling agent for an update, and plan to share as much as I can by tomorrow.

Thanks for hanging in there with us, everyone!

If you have any questions, please contact us via email or post it in the comments :-)

6:22 PM — We just received confirmation from our freight handler that the first production has been assigned to a case for U.S. Customs, and is on schedule for inspection to commence tomorrow morning!!!

So far, things are looking good for delivery in the next week!

Based on the lead-time in U.S. Customs right now and the pre-freight inspections by our freight handler, we have reason to believe the Customs inspection could take as little as 2 days!!!

Here is a best-case scenario from today's perspective:

9/21/15 - Processing in US Customs
9/22/15 - Clearance w/ US Customs
9/23/15 - Delivery to our warehouse in Southern California, unpacking into inventory
9/24/15 - Dispatch to Customers!!!

And here is a little more cushion on the same timeline of events:

9/21/15 - Processing in US Customs
9/24/15 - Clearance w/ US Customs
9/25/15 - Delivery to our warehouse in Southern California, unpacking into inventory
9/28/15 - Dispatch to Customers!!!

It's going to be pretty close whether the shipments will dispatch from our warehouse this week or early next week, but we will stay on top of it any keep everyone up to date!!!

Thanks for your support!

September 17, 2015

This morning, our First Production was assigned to a case for U.S. Customs compliance checks.

Our freight handler has let us know that U.S. Customs is currently backed up until Monday due to the beginning of a busier time of year in terms of cargo conveyance and clearance.

This means we might not have too much to share tomorrow (9/18/15), but we'll be checking in with our handlers in the morning nonetheless to share whatever we can :-)

Thanks everyone!

September 16, 2015

The First Production has been confirmed as received in a holding warehouse at LAX!

For clarity, this is NOT the warehouse shipment will take place from, but a warehouse for holding cargo for inspection at Los Angeles International Airport :-)

There will be a number of steps taking place behind the scenes for the next few days. We'll be doing our best to keep updates coming every day!

In the meantime, here is a photo of our First Production shipment in holding at LAX. It's a mighty fine pallet!

I don't know that I've ever been so stoked to see a pallet!

More soon! Thanks everyone!

September 15, 2015

We received confirmation over the weekend that the First Production was in transit, and are awaiting confirmation that the freight has arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.

We are hoping to receive confirmation a little later today!
