So I got some cables from some random company called Nerd Cables, because I asked a few of my friends and they said it looked great. I'm fully aware this hobby has long ship times, cuz all of my parts took like 1 week, but I ordered the cable like a week or two ago, and I still don't have it. Also, I only learned about cablemod after I had ordered the other cables, so :/ but they both look very nice.

Edit: my keyboard did come with a cable so I can obv use it without the custom one, but it looks ugly and idk if I should refund them or just wait

So my question is, to you others, how long does it take to ship? I'm fine with waiting like a month because it's not immediately necessary.

I have heard a lot of people have had lots of issues with actually getting their products to ship from that company. Typically coiled cables have less lead time than a keyboard and it should be a few weeks max +/- transit time

Ah so waiting like a month is normal? Good to hear. Thought I was getting scammed or something.

I don’t think you’re going to get your cables. I would contact your bank/PayPal for a refund.

Oh man.... Okay I'll ask my parents, but asking for refunds from them never ends well...

PayPal will give you a refund most of the time unless you send money with the “friends and family” option

I could’ve sworn I just saw a post here a few hours ago saying not to order from them

Request a refund, start a PayPal dispute, or file a credit card chargeback and file a complaint with the FTC

Hey! I'm a start up cable making biz (though not officially opened).

I'd love to send you a free cable + free shipping, at least until you get yourself one you love! No returns necessary, I promise.

DM me here or one of my socials if you're interested!

That's the neat part.... they don't. No, but seriously from what I've heard just file a claim.
