I would seriously hope that GH has no idea who is or isn't an active FC member.
I wouldn't hold your breath in getting them to say what day they are going to start shipping.
I should mention that every KS/IGG I've been involved with (5) did NOT send actual tracking numbers, as they all said it was too much hassle when dealing with 100's of simultaneous shipments.
That may not turn out to be the case here, but it wouldn't be surprising. Generally, it's been...
Again, not one of us knows how the assembly is actually performed, or how many people are doing it.
For all anyone knows, they have a pile of 100 finished grasshoppers, but the person whose job it is to pack them in the boxes is a flake.
Also note the qualifier in Trevor's quote- "we will do...
Reread my post, paying attention to the word "logistics". Of course UPS will ship a single box.
Pretty much anything any of us says about this is speculation, since we know nothing about their assembly and shipping procedures- I'm just offering a possible explanation, as are you...
They might not literally ship them one at a time. Logistics might dictate a batch of say 100 going out at once. We still don't know how long it takes them to get from a bunch of parts to a boxed GH.
As said above, till we hear that someone has gotten at least a tracking number, then they...
I don't care about whether or not I get a free battery this point.
Someone on reddit posted this:
" Indiegogo backers will enjoy additional benefits in the future so don't think we forgot about you! Best, Trevor"
So, as a backer, I was a bit confused by the other email Trevor sent out, about them throwing in an extra battery for the delay, since someone on reddit quoted him saying that this was just for preorders, not for backers. I was worried that maybe they had me down as a preorder, not a backer, and...
The Rage of The Jilted Crowdfunder

Sounds good, but without knowing how often they are receiving these larger batches, it doesn't really tell us much. Would also be interesting to know how long it takes them to assemble one GH once all the parts are sitting there.
