Shipping Progress

[bonterra]

EVERYONE who is a KickStarter backer should be receiving the updates via KickStarter, some of which told about delays.  KickStarter backers are just that...backers, which can also be considered investors.  We're investing in their ideas.  By pledging, you are (usually) backing startups.  Sometimes these things can bring in a LOT more backers than anticipated, which is just one of the many things that can cause delays.  If you notice when you are choosing a reward, the date shown is an estimated delivery date, not something set in stone.  With the issues and delays the Pine team has run into, they are still managing to crank out shipments at a now impressive speed.  Hang tight...you will get your stuff.  Heck, I'm STILL waiting for my Coolest cooler, and that one ended back in 2014, but am still hopeful that I will get it.

BTW, I have not received my backer rewards and items, yet, either.  Just waiting patiently for them, as last I heard, they are anticipating having all backer rewards to be shipped by end of May/beginning of June.

Can you point me to the official update(s) that announce the delay of the Z-wave modules? I have saved all the update emails sent through KS and I can't find any information at all regarding Z-wave. In the last official update on May 2nd, Johnson wrote:

Components Updates: The only components we are currently missing are the two ABS cases and the LCD screen. 

Not a word about the Z-wave module being redesigned. 

In the update on April 19th, it was said that 

The last accessory to hit our office is a few of the ZWave boards and POT boards as they are awaiting certification and will hit our office April 29th. 

If they didn't arrive then (and later had to be redesigned), why haven't this been communicated?

I hear you.  I'd love to see more updates, too.  I'm expecting mine will be in one of the last shipments to go out.  I pledged for the 4K Media Kit, and added on some extras.  IoT, Playbox, and Media kits are supposed to be the last ones going out.

Yep. Playbox enclosure, LCD screens, ABS cases and Zwave modules are known to have been delaying shipments from way back. Wish I had known my order would go out last like you due to specific items. Thing is I didn't order anything that was supposed to cause delay in the first place.

Hope they come back with an update soon...

I held my order down to a minimum to get my board as quickly as possible, I had a lot of other things on my wish list but decided to order those later to speed up the delivery. Unfortunately the only add-on I chose seems to be the last one to arrive.
