Show me some shipping confirmations GHL. Telling me you should get through the majority of the orders this month means nothing until mass orders start shipping. We still on late November 2013 orders?

Show me something GHL. Make me believe you this time... please. A grasshopper would be great come xmas (even with my current ETA of November.

It is November, which is the month after my estimated ship month. Mine should have come already!

Man, that website redesign is going to be SWEET I'm sure, since it is taking them months to accomplish.
Am I REALLY the only person who's estimated ship date still shows as September? I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet...

Just saw a November 27th AND 28th shipping address confirmation on Reddit!
me too! I was thinking this MAY be the first time multiple dates have been sent on the same day!
(hopefully they're not "mixing it up" to make it seem like more than it is. I hope ALL of 27th and 28th confirmations are being sent... it's a long 2 weeks of backers to get to my Dec 11 date! But progress is progress!)

Good things appear to be happening at Hopper Labs. I made my purchase on the anniversary of my ole' Navy friends B-Day on December 9th of 2013. Upon arrival, I'm naming my Hopper after her because I know that Grace would have got a kick out of using this cutting edge technology ... seeing how they share the sir name and she coined the phrase "bug in the computer".

I have met Admiral Hopper and she was simply amazing. She was also instrumental in the development of COBOL. She used to hand out 30 cm pieces of wire as an illustration of a nanosecond because that's how long it would take an electrical signal to traverse it. I don't know what happened to mine.

We now return to you regular thread.

Not a bad update this time...maybe their best? Its a low bar, I know. For once they gave a specific production rate and they also acknowledged in their own way that production rates havent been as high as they promised back in July

I like the 'In Action' photo of Matt looking at a bag of parts. Riveting camera work, really captured the essence of the mood at Hopper Labs.

I'm still showing September 2015 too. Dec. 9, 2013 backer. Anxiously awaiting my confirmation email.

This was posted over on reddit. Figured I'd post it here so some of you that don't visit that bad place could have a laugh too.

November 1st update

You’re not gonna believe how many machines we bought this month. So many machines. We couldn’t put any vaporizers together for you guys because we had to hire more people to run around cleaning all the machines. Now though with all these people and machines everywhere we’ve run out of space so we’ve ordered some more machines to build us a bigger warehouse and our production capabilities are going to go through the roof.

We’re going to fix up those delivery dates on the website for you guys, too. We know we’ve said this before but we ran into a little speed bump along the way. We were just about to update the dates on the site and then Jeremy (one of our senior machine dusters) pointed out that if people thought it would take longer to get a grassHopper, maybe less people would click Preorder, so we had to throw that entire strategy out the window and re-engineer an entirely new solution.

Today we are proud to announce that after moving into our new warehouse next month our very first task will be to purchase 11 or 12 new machines dedicated solely to working out a strategy for us to update our delivery estimates without making less money. As soon as this strategy is conceived, we will go ahead and implement it. Unfortunately, all of this moving and machine buying will leave us with very little time to assemble vaporizers, but after we streamline the process the different components of our approach will synergize and production will skyrocket. We predict that by August 1st 2017 we will have enough machines to produce 4 million grassHoppers every 45 minutes.

We’ll be back on November 15th to tell you more about some of the interesting machines we’ve thought about buying and also share pictures of some of the machines we have already bought that are sitting around the warehouse.
 
Sweet!! What is you're backer date?
My date was similarly November 28th, but like @tubasco my actual order was November 27th 11pm CST so like November 28th 1am MST. I had emailed them, added a hopper to my order and was told 'my order will most likely ship in the next few days'. Really wish they would ship it tomorrow so I can possibly get it Friday or Saturday but no such luck probably. Maybe I can entice them with an extra $5 lol.
