Along with a bunch of others, I ordered an Intax back for my Bronica ETRS back in June, 2025. At the time, the anticipated shipping date was September, 2025. That date has been pushed forward many times, most recently to January, 2026. The same has been true for the RB67 back, the SQ back, and the Mamiya 645 back. There has been no useful communication from Jollylook and the live chat feature on their website goes unmanned. I find it interesting that as of today (2/2/26), the estimated shipping date for all these products remains at January. I would strongly suggest that you not order anything from Jollylook. I extend this to products that are allegedly in stock and ready to ship because you would simply be rewarding them for engaging in what looks like a scam.

I've not been in touch with (or even know of) Jollylook, but I can confirm that I was talking to a seller of something entirely different in Kyiv and they 'disappeared' for a week or so recently due to repeated power outages, no heating and obviously also lack of internet access.

However, that doesn't explain a shipment that's being postponed by several months starting in summer 2025. Save for (up to now) relatively brief service interruptions, much of Ukraine continues to function remarkably well in terms of doing business, including postal services.
