RE: Shipping Progress - Tikimaster - 06-08-2016
Well finally got a response about my shipment. Set to go out in a batch in the next few weeks. Oh wait this is the same thing they sent a month ago. Good thing I can run to store and just buy RPI 3 all day long.

I understand your frustration. Still waiting myself with similar concern .... and did go buy a couple RPI3s already.

With this project being so delayed yes I have been picking these up as needed. Was hopeful this would be nice replacement but without it being in my hands who knows. I am very pleased with the RPi 3 just wish it had the 2GB RAM this board should have. But then again when you are creative you find ways to add RAM :p

Have to admit, the single biggest reason I backed the Pine was because it was so much more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 2. I always felt that the Pis were underpowered. Had the RPi3 come out a month or so earlier there is no question that I'd have directed my cash elsewhere. More fool me.

Whats gets me, is this line from the May 27th Update:
" We've uploaded our latest batch of 9155 tracking numbers, bringing our total shipment to 30,855 shipped. "
That was almost TWO WEEKS ago. I never received a tracking number. My status still reads as "Ready to Ship". I want to email, but whats the point if I have to wait nine days to see if I get a response or not. And then what? I reply back, and I have to wait another nine days for another response?
My best guestimates would say either A) backerkit is a piece of crap and glitched thus no tracking number for me; B)Somehow my order was lost and not fullfilled; or C) They lied in the last update.

I received my tracking number this morning, I expect it to take at least another week or two before I have the board in my hand. To be honest I'm not really sure what this board can do that can't be done with my RPi3 but that's just me and my use. (Actually I started a new project with one of my 1st gen RPi B a few days ago!)

Right there with you. All I know is this is the ONLY Pine that will be in my toolset. With service this bad and the pure lack of true information I really do not see a V2 in their future. If there is they will do it without my $$.

I researched it out, and decided I would give it a try. I placed my order on the 17th of February, knowing full well it would be May before I received it; NOT after according the email. I was okay with that and have been patiently waiting for my order. I also read every post about slow shipping and promised myself I would not follow suit, that it would come in due time and that was okay.
About three weeks ago, I was telling my co-worker about the pine, extolling the virtue of this startup, exclaiming all the possibilities. So, he gets excited and orders one. I informed him that he would need to be patient that he probably wouldn't receiving it until the end of June at this point, he was okay with that.
Tonight, I get to work and what do I get? My co-worker showing me an email that his pine has shipped. When I see this, I am excited because I know that if his shipped, mine shipped as well (same identical order placed months before his), but when I log in, what do I see? PROCESSING. This is starting to borderline on the absurd. I get that takes time but this would indicate chaos and complete lack of organization.
Maybe I should order a new Pine to get it fast. (Backerkit status: Ready To Ship) What a shame the 2GB version is sold out.
I posted this as a joke, but obviously should I have ordered a new Pine if I want to get one. If shop orders has been delivered and I as a backer still have not got ANYTHING even not a tracking number. What is going on???
Just FYI, since I first posted this message, I have received a "your order has shipped" message with a 2 day priority USPS tracking number. However, it's just not true. That was nearly two weeks ago and still no actual tracking information except the USPS has received pre-shipping information. My co-worker hasn't received his ether.

I updated my signature file so that everyone can see the status of my own order. I suggest people do the same.

Good idea.
