Ingenuity precision sightings

Here is an email I received from him some time ago, I'm just waiting, if you've never owned a business before I'm not sure you can understand the complexity of doing something like this.
"The current estimate for the first preorders that started 12-19-23 through about the end of 02-2024 should start going out toward the end of MAy/June 2025. If you preordered after the end of February 2024 then you will be in the second batch of production scheduled for release mid to late summer 2025. The second batch will go much much faster now that all the kinks have been ironed out in the first production run."
 
New email update.

"The current estimate for the first preorders that started 12-19-2023 through about the end of 2-2024 should start going out toward the end of June / first of July 2025. If you ordered after the end of February 2024 then you will be in the second batch of production scheduled for release late summer 2025. The second batch will go much faster now that all the kinks have been ironed out in the first production run."
 
And the most recent update from the website:
“The current estimate for the first preorders that started 12-19-23 through about the end of 02-2024 should start going out toward the end of July/Aug 2025. If you preordered after the end of February 2024 then you will be in the second batch of production scheduled to release late summer/fall 2025.”
 
I finally gave up and got an Autotrickler V4.

The reason I wanted it was to speed up my reloading. My time is getting more and more precious. While the IP may be a bit faster and more precise, the time saved over the next 6 months (which is where I am thinking they will actually start shipping) is worth it to me.

Paul had said at one time the new unit would begin shipping in June 2025 but the latest is "hoping" to begin shipping late July or August.
My order has been placed since December 20, 2023 so should be in the first batch out.
I normally wouldn't deal with all the "hurry up and wait" BUT this is different. I know Paul and use the IP Powder Meter with my V3. Every communication and purchase I have ever had with Ingenuity Precision has only left me knowing he's a perfectionist and he expects his customers to expect nothing less. I'm in for as long as it takes!

I just recently ordered a V4 as well. Pretty excited to receive it. How are you liking it?

I do also have a preorder in for the IP system. I figured what the hell, I at least need the scale anyway, and there’s no chance MY IP preorder (literally placed this month) will be seen anytime soon. In the mean time, I can finally throw charges on a decent system and stop using the Hornady plastic toy (ACP)!
 
I'm also considering an Autotrickler V4, @sgav8r. Did you order yours from a US distributor? If so, which one did you use? I'm thinking of ordering from the manufacturer, but they can't tell me how much the tariffs might be. That unknown makes me want to spend a little more and buy from a US distributor. Any thoughts you wish to share would be appreciated.

I ordered the V4 directly from Macdonald Innovations (autotrickler.com). I ordered the scale from CE Products. Both are Canadian companies but I don’t believe there is any additional charge associated with tariffs. I believe that is all factored in.

Right now the best deal going is the Black Friday combo deal from CE Products. If there’s any left in stock. They had something like 35 in stock yesterday. Last I saw today it was down to 3 left!
 
Once again I'm proof of the old axiom: "You snooze, you lose." By the time I got around to CE Products, the Black Friday deal was sold out. Not only you advised of the deal @sgav8r , but @jxb gave me a heads up to. Yet I snoozed away . . . . Rats!

I'm not sure I'm willing to wait for the Ingenuity Precision to hit, so it's either a Supertrickler or Autotrickler. Still contemplating my options.

My recommendation would be to just get the scale from CE and the V4 directly from MacDonald. MacDonald’s stating 3-4 weeks for production on my order placed 11/25. Also CE does have a really great sale price on the FX-120i right now!
