I'll be happy even with the chrome.
These are cheaper than the crappiest generic faucets I can get locally ($32 + tax + shipping), and I would much rather have a chrome Perlick than a chrome standard.

Exactly. Forget the shanks. $25 for the faucet alone is a good deal so even if you turn around and buy stainless shanks after the fact it's still a good price.

The chrome will be fine for me for now. Maybe I'll upgrade to stainless one at a time over the next few months or something.
 
Well, I woke up this morning and the money is gone from my account. They have my cash...now it will be a question of whether they will honor it or not.

I tend to think if they weren't they would have canceled all orders and fired off a mass email explaining the issue and apologizing. However the wheels seem to keep on rolling on this one.

We will have to see.
 
That would be great if they actually get shipped out by the end of the week.

Guys with the itemized lists for shipping, were the shanks chrome or stainless?

"Perlick PERL 525SS Keg Beer Faucet - Stainless Steel [PL 525SS]"
 
Chrome shanks.

Does that really make a huge difference though?

Mostly I ordered so that I could replace my non-Perlick taps that work fine, but do have their quirks. I'd planned to re-building my collar and upgrading a few things so it seemed like the perfect time to get started on that.
 
I ordered last Thursday and received my taps and shanks yesterday. They are chrome shanks for those of you wondering. There is not a problem connecting the taps to the shanks like the faulty 525SS's. Overall, everything looks great and is the quality I would expect for a Perlick faucet. Hope you guys get yours.
 
Found this at Tower Cooler dot com

"Unless you are dispensing highly acidic wine, chrome plated brass is the correct material for your beer shank. The brass conducts heat away from your beer faucet much faster than stainless steel, keeping your faucet nice and cool for a foam free pour."

Sounds like SS are unneeded. :)

And it looks like they have a pretty good product for a beer tower cooler
 
blackbear> what day did you place your order?

8/16. They shipped 8/18, way before it got all this attention and the orders started pouring in. I ordered the day before jww9618 but he lives a lot closer so he got his first.

I googled around researching taps at home on the iPad for like 2 hours one night and just happened to stumble upon the deal.

Just trying to get an idea of when I can expect mine to be shipped, I ordered on Sat the 20th. I'm in Ga and BevFac is in Cali, so it might be Mon before I receive if they ship tomorrow. :mug: I'm glad you got 'em!

Honestly, I would keep bugging them if I were you. I honestly don't think they are backordered, I think they are just trying to stop the bleeding of a pricing error.

If they were just backordered, the price and "add to cart" button wouldn't be gone from the webpage. You'd think it would just say backordered. Plus, like I mentioned before, all the parts are "in stock" if you look them up seperately.

Thx. I'm in no hurry
 
Mine were delivered this morning. Dying to get out of work so I can go home and install them.
 
Received shipping confirmation today. Good luck to anyone still waiting!
 
Everything went smoothly on the install! My keezer is DONE!!!

I checked my order a little while ago and it said the items were still back ordered. Just checked it now and the back order text IS gone. Also, I noticed that my order is itemized. I'm hopeful for a shipping confirmation tomorrow!
 
That's awesome. Glad to hear that it sounds like they are filling all these orders. :rockin:
 
Hmm can't add that item to the cart and it is listed for $0.00. Looks like they fixed the pricing error (or stopped offering the amazing sale price). Shame.
