Still waiting for my phone, no reply from Pine - rienesl - 05-21-2020
Hi,
I had ordered my Phone in the brave heart edition long, long time ago. It got shipped to Germany for whatever reason and got stuck there. Nothing moved for more than a month. Then suddenly the tracking of the shipment said, that there is no known shipment with the given tracking number. I tried to get in touch with Pine by mail countless times, but absolutely no reply. Anybody any idea? I can't claim back the money, because this is only possible for 30 days after the payment

i would guess that customs held your device for a certain length of time ,then is was shipped ,back , I think customs trys to contact you for taxes , ( but only one time) i have seen comments here about difficultys like this
try contacting "LUKE" the moderator on here, for the best course of action

Too bad you are not getting an answer from Pine.
Are you using the right email? From the website I understand you should use: For sales/wholesale related questions
sales@pine64.org
Try all the possible emails you can find in the website. May be they are overwhelmed with the shipping of the second edition.
See if anyone from Pine responds here...
At last resort, can you contact the credit card company or PayPal. They might have more power to contact them. I hope some from Pine will answer and fix the situation.
Good luck!

Yes, I use the sales@ email address. In fact I used the reply button, to avoid typos. I can not make any claim to PayPal or my credit card issuer, because it is too long time ago now.

At sales@ they show very bad business practice by not at all answering legitimate email questions.
I wonder whether their management is aware of how much goodwill gets destroyed that way?

It should be six months for PayPal. They also list contact information about the seller on the transaction information

Ask PayPal even you are out of warranty
Very important send a written letter to PINE (make it certified, and keep a copy). Scan the letter and email them a copy, also send them a FAX (if they have).
If you do all of these they cannot say they did not know about your case. Give them some time to answer (few weeks?) then you can ask the European Consumer Centre for help or other similar organizations
I hope you don;t need to do all of these, and someone from Pine will answer you.

I think in PayPal you paid to a company in Hong Kong (Syabas Tech?), but not Pine64. I guess this makes things more difficult... or may be not. I do not know the relation between PINE64 ans SYABAS but SYABAS might be a third party. MAy be you can email them too? Probably they will not listen to you, but if many customers have problems and PINE64 doesn't respond them and they complain to SYABAS, they might then take action.
I am sorry, I like the PinePhone idea and I want to support them (and I do), but I cannot tolerate this kind of situations. I am not saying who is right, but I think Pine should answer here something.

This ALL is very unusual. @rienesl do you have an order? Which address did you put in it? Many EU routs go via Germany. Did you ask your post office about the consignment?
All those questions are only relevant if you are not a troll.
