Virpil?

[Panzerlang]

I'm assuming nothing will be making it out from them now, unless I've got their location completely wrong?

The store is temporarily closed (virpil.by)

 

Closed at the moment. You have it correct.

Oh dear. Unfortunately they activated the invoice (took the pending payment from my bank) two days ago.

I've sent them a refund request, to be followed up by a chargeback. Small potatoes of course, considering the bigger picture.

Belarus is in Russia territory right?

Belarus is supposed to be declaring war on the Ukraine.

Hello everyone,

I can confirm that we are still operating as expected per our usual order process. Orders are still being dispatched daily from our worldwide distribution center in Lithuania and successfully delivered! If you have any questions about an order please feel free to get in touch with our support team who will be more than happy to help with any questions.

So any concerns just send Virpil support a message.

I'm assuming stock in Lithuania would have to come from Belarus, which is now under sanction. No idea how much stock Lithuania holds currently. I'd rather have my moolah back than take the chance.

I think Virpil is a pretty up front company about things, I believe they would advise if they foresaw any issue.

I've had nothing other than the automated email saying they've taken my money. No access now to the order page on their site so I'm in the dark.

I've been in contact with Virpil in Lithuania and had full clarification. All items are in stock with them and all orders are being shipped according to their normal back-order schedule.

No comment on being re-supplied from Belarus in the future though, so bear that in mind.

The EU website is still open - VIRPIL Controls - Bases - Flightsticks - Shop (virpil-controls.eu) - so probably nothing to worry about at the moment.

Hi everyone. I can confirm that we are still operating per our usual order process and shipments from our factory are still arriving to our distribution center. Please note that orders are not charged until the stock is ready and reserved for that order. Should any orders be affected, we will of course be in touch directly!
