Bob never reported back as having actually received his G2. I too would love to hear from him and see how it's going.

I paid my final invoice on February 4 for a G2 no-display, but no radio yet, just excuses.
Last week I finally initiated a dispute on PayPal because their 180 day time limit was running short. Apache responded via PP saying that they were holding my shipment because of the dispute. Can you imagine the gall that would take? They offered to ship the second week of May if I drop the dispute. I'm afraid that they are just trying to run out the clock.

What do you expect them to do? When you file a Dispute with a CC company the funds are immediately taken out of the merchant account until the investigation concludes...

I don’t want be one lucky ones, everyone should be treated the same ,I don’t like response they gave that buyer when he put a dispute in PayPal . Than other buyer never posted if he received his G2 .Sounds almost like blackmail

Good News

Hi All,

I received my G2 (no display) yesterday

Here is the time-line for those who may be tracking their own order, or considering a new order:
8 JAN 2024 Placed order on Apache-Labs website & paid $1000 deposit via PayPal
4 FEB 2024 Received final invoice & paid via PayPal
21 APR 2024 Initiated dispute case with PayPal for non-shipment
6 MAY 2024 Received tracking number from FedEx in India
10 MAY 2024 Anan G2 arrives via FedEx

So, just a bit over four months from start to finish.
Hope this helps!

PayPal might suspend Apache for having an excessive dispute rate...

I would not be surprised at that. They really need to get a handle on the situation. They are quickly ruining their reputation.

I was refunded my $1000 via PayPal just few mins ago
Just update And I got email from Abhi .No hard feeling but I decided to move on -Maybe latter in future .

Hello Joe,

Just reaching out to let you know that support has replied to your emails received on 8th May, 11th May and today, however, it seems that our emails are being blocked by your ISP. Hence I am using my gmail to contact you.

They have refunded your deposit as requested, however, if you do wish to activate your order we will retain your place in the queue. we expect to ship next week.

Regards,

Abhi

G2 with display was received as planned. Made copy of micro SD card to have a future backup if needed. Ran piHPSDR and operation worked flawlessly. Downloaded Thetis and had it build its initial database. Once completed, connected to G2 and worked first shot.
Great experience so far ! Highly recommended Apache-Labs if you are patient and willing to wait approximately 3 months for delivery.
I was communicating with Abhi through out the process and he was kind, responsive and always tried to provide accurate updates. Thank you Apache-Labs !

I am curious if any of you ever considered or placed an order with Martin Lynch & Sons (ML&S) in the UK for G2 or other models? That company has accepted shipping to U.S. addresses in the past at least, if I understand correctly. From what I read on another forum, ML&S may carry more inventory, enabling "smoother" delivery.

Checked just now and I see that they have inventory of G2s, with or without display. Obviously, the currency exchange rate is not very attractive and will end up costing you WAY more than placing a PO on the Apache-Labs page. At least I hope that they ship items double-boxed .

Did you get help? Managed to get the money back.
I can't return it yet, bad people and deceivers from apache-labs ignore all my letters demanding to return the prepayment...
