Shipping Progress

[thtroyer]

All already or will be in stock on this week except the I2C multiport POT.
I ordered 3 of the 2gb boards for February and 3 power supplies... I personally really appreciate you giving updates on this thread and can't wait to get the board after my new rpi3 turned out to be a hot mess. I just hope the software is all sorted out, unlike the rpi3. As the rpi3 gets more unreasonable, i hope this becomes a good replacement. 2gb of ram? My heros.

While I don't have a RaspberryPi3, (but many Pi1 and 2) - the Linux support from everything put out by the RaspberryPi Foundation has been the best of all SBCs by far.  I find it hard to believe that the Rpi3 would be an exception to that.

Off topic... but what sort of problems did you run into?

Some concerns:

As backer #1280 (2Gb feb delivery), I've yet to receive any shipping notification despite completing the survey a month ago and showing a "Ready to ship" status for three weeks now.  How does the alleged rate of 400-500 shipments per day hold any water?  Mine should have been shipped day 4, worst case scenario.

We've seen pictures of boxes (whether or not they are empty is another matter left open, as we've not been updated with new images of the boards), but I've heard some people report they received bent/warped boards, and subsequently the attempt to blame this on shipping handling.  How are these boards arriving bent if they're shipped in boxes?

Knowing the boards themselves were late per stated product development goals, why were add-ons offered under the pretense they would not further contribute to delays? Conversely, could the development of the add-ons, mostly outside the KS project scope, have been the cause for the delays of the boards themselves?

I have exactly the same set of questions.

I've tried to get answers to these questions as well.

tllim suggested emailing questions like these to support@pine64.com , so that's what I did.  You may want to do the same.  I'm still waiting, but it's only been a few business days.

I can post back when I hear something.
