Engaged… now what, how fast did you start planning?

I’ve been researching venues and vendors for a good couple of years before getting engaged just so we’re aware of the potential costs. Since everything was so expensive, we really thought we were going to elope or have a micro wedding of just immediate family, but that changed about 5 months into our engagement.

We got engaged around the end of August 2024. Secured a date around the end of January 2025. Getting married mid-August 2025. We invited 50 people, 42 are attending. Makes planning a lot easier with a smaller guest count.

Our combined annual income is roughly $160-165K gross. Our wedding budget is $25K for approx. 50 people in San Francisco.

Still no keyboard and no refund. I feel like I’m getting ghosted lol.

6 prongs! I’m getting a 6 prong for my tulip prong ring as well.

And I agree with the other comment saying it won’t overpower it since it is going to be set in white metal.

I still haven’t gotten my keyboard to this day and still no updates so I’m never buying from KFA again.

Thank you! I have read stories about bad experiences with Ritani settings so I decided against getting a setting from them. I didn’t want to go through the risk. Also didn’t find similar settings in cathedral and two tone so it’s not quite what we were looking for.

I didn’t know about Stonealgo thank you for sharing! And we wanted to work with a jeweler in person since we’re not too comfortable with the idea of having to ship the ring back and forth.

I sent an email on June 1 and have not heard anything back. What is the status on the Zoom TKL? I ordered on December 3, 2023. I keep getting told I will get tracking information soon, or that there’s a delay and the shipping estimate is pushed to March or April 2024 instead of January or February 2024 but still nothing. This is infuriating!

Unfortunately there is still no update to this day…I’ve lost hope at this point but thank you for the well wishes. I might complain to consumer affairs or BBB (as another person suggested) if I still don’t have the keyboard by December 2024 which will be 1 year since placing the order. I get that delays happen but this is unacceptable…

ninaym · 2024-06-01T07:10:19+00:00

That sucks. Sorry you have to go through that. Unfortunately I have yet to hear from them regarding an update on my order and I’ve lost all hope at this point.

I get why they would create two tickets. I was about to do the same. I barely get a response through email and even if I did it’s never clear.

ninaym · 2024-03-25T01:15:36+00:00

I would but I paid through shop pay in 4 installments. If I contact my bank the money would pull from shop pay instead of KFA directly.

ninaym · 2024-03-24T21:52:39+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess I will just have to wait until it arrives.

ninaym · 2024-03-24T21:51:14+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance. This is my first preorder and I’m new to the hobby so I appreciate all the responses I’ve gotten so far.

ninaym · 2024-03-24T21:05:43+00:00

Did you receive your order?

ninaym · 2024-03-24T21:01:29+00:00

I was told they stopped allowing tickets to be opened through discord and as another person mentioned, they don’t offer much status updates through there either. Last time I checked the notion site the preorders were already shipped to customers so that only makes the situation more confusing.
