Shipping Progress

[komplike]

What you have written doesn't justify the shit that's been going on. I am well aware of these and yes, I won't back any Kickstarter project any more.

But that doesn't change the fact that my order has not been sent yet and I have not been provided a valid reason and a true and honest update of when I should really expect my order to be sent. This project seems to be a successful one, as per the updates and screenshots/pictures we have seen so far. And they seem to have the boards. The issue is not about the risk of the project or the shit you pasted above but the how they are executing it. They say they started March orders but I'm still waiting for my February Early Bird one.

So, maybe you should mind your own fucking business instead of pissing off people more, especially/provided you don't work for them.

1: The valid reason is that they got more than 55x the orders they were prepared for. (That isn't including backerkit orders, which according to their facebook totals at $2,750,000+ in sales) They weren't prepared to get millions of dollars of sales during their campaign, so you shouldn't expect them to generate a ton of these boards at high quality. 

2: The complaints about the Pines shipping out so late/slow cause the boards to be made faster, packed faster, etc. BUT! This likely is what is causing the boards to be bent in some cases, shown here on the forums. You and others complaining and being vulgar about your buyer's remorse is not helping the quality of these, which will likely upset you any more. With your high expectations, you should really stick to Amazon or eBay. Kickstarters don't need people like you to put a damper on their great ideas.

3: Your early bird Feburary order may have already shipped. If you're looking on the forums, you will see that Backerkit (NOT PINE64!) has caused some issues with getting shipping details out to backers, so the Pine64 team has to manually enter in tracking numbers. Let's do the math... Here's a sample of a tracking number, straight from USPS: 9400 1000 0000 0000 0000 00 22 characters per order. 500-600 orders per day. 11k-13k numbers to type every day to keep up with shipping. Every day. Has to be 100% accurate.

4: With all of the demands, Linux development, Android development, shipping, quality control, answering angry emails, backerkit, the Pine64 team has A TON of work to do, and if they prioritize shipping, people complain about the operating systems not being developed. If they prioritize OS dev, people complain about not getting their boards. 

Be patient. Keep you and your negative comments to yourself. Some of us out here are looking forward to our boards, and good things take time.

I don't give a single flying fuck to your points above. I'm an end-user, a consumer, a backer... I've been promised a product that I paid for right away. That promise has not been delivered and all I have are some stupid updates with excuses and vague points and then nothing.

The only thing you'd say negative in my comments is my response to you morons who defend these people for no reason. Other than that, whatever you see negative is my situation that I did not receive anything, and that is not my fault. Read my comments again if you'd like.

Again, what I'm upset about is the vague and dishonest updates. If they said "dude, we will ship your fucking item on 16th June at 15:38pm GMT+1" then I will fucking wait without any further word. That would be more than welcome, than stupidly saying "oh we had a slight delay", "this happens because Kickstarter bla bla bla", etc. I don't buy this shit. Having not sent Early Bird Feb order when it is almost April is not a fucking slight delay! Be honest to me. Otherwise GTFO.

And you fanboys, I don't give a damn how you want to wait for ages. Keep this to yourself!
