I can go back to looking at it casually, occasionally!!

I'm wondering the point of that "2 days expiration" span.
2 weeks would have been more reasonable and not as long as 2 months.
Why putting such pressure on people ? What about those on vacation and AFK ?

Probably to keep the preorder system moving along. I bet after the coupon expires a new person in queue gets their opportunity. I imagine the Pine team wouldn't turn anyone away if they legitimately couldn't make their purchase in time for the coupon expiration, if they're able.

There was a guy around that was short on money and was waiting for his wages for end of the month.
Some people can easily get $200 short almost 2 weeks before the end of the month, it's a reality.
Since the 2nd batch is "reserved" to the coupon codes, why putting an expiration date at all ?

As of noon UTC today (August 25), this phase of the preorder system has ended. A total of 884 users went through the system over the last month.
Thanks to everyone in the community, and sorry for the bumpy start way back in July.

I had an issue with my credit card, it was blocked due to attempted fraudulent purchases, and I had to wait for a new one to be posted to me. Which took like ten days from Ireland to the Netherlands, but that's a whole different story…
Anyway, I replied to the e-mail with the coupon code, stating that I couldn't make a purchase within the two day time limit, and they replied to just get back to them when I was able to place an order. I did that this morning, and am now waiting to get a new coupon code.

And they sent me a new code!

The sales team has been doing a fantastic job keeping on top of this and ensuring everyone is taken care of!

I am still waiting for my coupon.
Finally I hope to receive it in coming day

As far as I can see, they are really doing a great job so far!
And honestly, I wouldn't have minded paying a tenner more if that meant the company had a bit of profit, and thus motivation to work even better and faster!
Be that as it may, let's hope the shipping date is soon, given I was able to place my order yesterday!
