Has anyone rec'd Vitamix replacement?

Has anyone rec'd any notification of when the blade replacement will be sent? I mailed in the correct information and have not heard back- so I wrote Vitamix online and they said they don't have that information (??)---- to contact the settlement company that filed the lawsuit and it's not settled yet. This seems odd since I'm not using mine until the replacement is sent- or one person said you have to mail back the unit and Vitamix installs it.-- It seems odd that the replacement wouldn't be sent since some class settlements take years- and yes- a replacement was offered (or a $70 gift certificate which I consider useless since not one thing on their site is $70-- unless you want some stupid spatulas -- everything else is MUCH more which certainly aren't bargain priced even with the $70!! SO here I sit - and wonder when or IF I'm going to get some kind of information and/or my replacement!

I didn't receive my replacement either.  Haven't heard a word since I did the paperwork.

Any sort of settlement takes LOTS time to complete.

Personally?

I’m not going to look for it until March/2019.

I didn't even know about this.  My original blade leaked oil.  They sent me a replacement.  It's dated August 2012.  I think I'm eligible, but need to research.  In the meantime, this blade has been good.

Is there a specific Vitamix model involved in the action? I have the Galaxy Creations.

Wow, didn't even hear of this... have had my Creations since the first TSV came to QVC and you could only get black.  I've never (thank goodness) had a problem and surprised to hear of this.....  hope you all get it resolved quickly....

I have two containers.  I contacted Vitamix and they took care of one of them right away and said to register the other for the settlement.  I did.  I have heard nothing.  Glad Vitamix took care of the first one.  I am not using the second one until it is fixed.
