$77.96 and the corporate response to the failure in fulfilling shipment. It's "2-3 weeks" every week. No refunds. Project Update #34 began the unraveling for me:
Johnson begins his update by condescendingly saying "I'm going to try and explain this as easy as possible in laymen terms so everyone can TRY to understand." and then goes on to compare his project with being tasked with buying drinks for a party, and not having the right vehicle to get the drinks home.
Truth is, I've paid for my drinks, there were no drinks, PINE64 Inc. is saying "Hang on! The drinks are coming!" and I just need my money to take a cab home.
Haha, I like your adaptation of that analogy.
Truth is, the shipping aspect of this kickstarter could have gone much better. It could have gone worse, and there are many examples of kickstarter projects that HAVE gone worse, but it definitely could have gone better.
That said, it was a kickstarter, and the no refunds thing is a kickstarter thing. You are pledging money to help a company realise an idea, not specifically to get merchandise, yada yada, etc etc.
So yeah, whilst I see your point, you're probably going to have to wait for your drink and then walk home.
