KOR Water team celebrates a looooonnnnnngggg launch process...but worth the wait!

Well, the wait is finally over. We officially started shipping out the KOR ONE to all the loyal folks who have been waiting for one of their own. If you followed the saga of our launch on this blog, you are no doubt aware that the ride was a bit bumpy. But we’re happy to report that the road ahead looks clear and we’re ready to shift into high gear. And as you can probably tell from the photo, it was a great day for all of us here at KOR HQ.

KOR ONE reusable bottles ready to serve

Over the next few days, the KOR ONE will start appearing at thousands of doorsteps and mailboxes. The rest will be up to you. What will you do with your KOR? We’d love to find out! Just upload your photos to the KOR ONE flickr group, created by KOR customer Jorge Lozano. Thanks Jorge!….

It's Go Time for KOR Water

Wohooo! Now all I have to wait for is my confirmation email and after 8500 km of shipping my KOR One will reach me here in the UK.

How many have you guys sold by the way and have you sold more or less than expected?

Woohoo! Got my shipping notification, now I just have to wait for my hydration vessel to get to Australia, I wonder how long that will be?

After that, it’s jumping at everyone I know to talk about how awesome the new KOR ONE is (I hope !

Cheers, patiently waiting,

Very fancy bottle, freezes well it seems. Don’t think it’s car holder friendly however, and it is a very long bottle. Not the easiest to hold. I’ll have to get used to it.

Hmph! I ordered my KOR One over 21 days ago and back then the ship date was a maximum of 12 business days. I contacted KOR 9 days ago and they said it would ship in 5-7 business days. I am a bit let down at the moment. I seriously hope the wait is worth it …

I got my two.. I never should have told my wife about the 50% off the next bottle… and that a pink version was on the way. Since I got my Kor One, I’ve seen a major drop in my daily productivity. Primarily, I’m drinking so much water now that I have the Kor One it constantly needs to exit my body… this leads me to a humorous thought… something I call “the Kor phenomenon.” This happens when Kor ultimately wants to reduce waste by creating a reusable water bottle that is both fashionable and innovative… but in doing so they cause more people to drink more water, and, therefore use the bathroom more… thus reducing the amount of potable water and creating more contaminated water…. thereby nullifying the effect of reducing waste. I’m totally kidding about this

I got my Kor One today and the glue behind the push here sticker won’t come off no matter what I do. It’s not smeared across the whole front face of the cap. this is REALLY BAD DESIGN.

Hi Justin, a little adhesive residue from the label is fairly common but it sounds like you’ve got more than usual. It should come right off with a little vaseline or rubbing alcohol. You can also use any kind of cooking oil (e.g. corn or canola). If that doesn’t work then something else is going on and we’d like to investigate and send you a replacement. If that’s the case, please contact us via customercare@korwater.com. Thanks!

WOW! This is truly a functional work of design art. “Sexy” doesn’t do it justice. It is a bit larger than I would like for outings but for the office and around the home it is true perfection. Don’t hesitate - get one.

Re: Above post #13 - How do I get the 50% off second bottle deal? Or were you kidding about that too?

Well as you may know , this past weekend it was one of our biggest mexican holiday, Day of the dead, according to the national discovery channel it seems Mexico its the only country that makes such a big thing, to party with those who are dead. We cook, bring food and alcohol to the cementaries and make a big big party, sounds weird , well its great!!.

Thats why I couldnt post that the same friday I was arranging my place in order to have this party, I received my 3 vessels.

What happen next , I almos run out of them , i never intended to sell them but…I was forced to sell 2 of them.

Here is my picture :

And no need to say , Im fascinated with my bottle, it is such an eyecatcher , and a very nice tool to start talking about SAVE THE EARTH , SAVE WATER AND RECYCLE.

It is worth every cent

I just stepped outside and noticed a box on my porch. Yay! It’s my Kor One. Here I am wishing it would come and there it was the whole time.

Thank you.

I received mine about 2 weeks ago now and love it! I never thought I’d spend $30 on a water bottle, but I’ve never made a better investment. It’s sparked near pandemonium here in the office. If I don’t show up to a meeting with it, everyone wonders where it’s hiding.
I’ve done nothing but enjoy it every day and tell everyone about your company. I’m going to be ordering another one for home! I end up missing my Kor when I’m away from it. Great job everyone and I wish you all the success! You’ll definitely be getting my business for a long time! Keep rockin’! Gelly

Hi Thomas, http://www.clickshop.com will be our first UK retailer. They should be carrying the KOR ONE shortly. Please check their site in a week or so.
