Those parts have been expected variously "tomorrow" and "any day now" for around 3 weeks...

They ran out of purple Ti bodies (and possibly other parts, who knows?) a few weeks ago. They said I should be receiving mine right after the holidays, guess I'll bug them again in a week or so if nothing happens.... Happy to hear you got some good ones!

Glad to have some more confirmation that my reaction to that news wasn't out of line. Hard to see how it could have an immediate effect on quality, unless whoever they'd contracted with was just extremely shoddy. Wonder how quick GHL will be able to place, flow and test one board? Those are...

Ask the people outside of the US how they feel about "just get a new one", because they aren't feeling quite so casual about it...

The big "if" there is whether bunk circuit boards are responsible for all (or any) of the malfunctions. How many people want to wait around and be beta testers while GHL learns how to mass produce circuit boards?

So after months and months of them struggling to assemble prefabricated parts into functioning units, now they go and buy their own pick and place machine?! Like THAT'S not going to have a learning curve? There are loads of small companies making primarily electronic products (i.e. where the...

No math allowed, Gregori!!! Even repeated misguided optimistic math!

Oh OK, it's MY fault for taking their statements at face value and not "reading between the lines". Of course- I'M being misguidedly optimistic when THEY deliberately change my estimated ship date to November- any fool should know that they don't REALLY mean November, because the supply chain...

No one is claiming they said they would be able to immediately ship completed units after receiving the parts. (On October 19th, the Monday after that update, according to the calendar ) (though as it turned out, they didn't receive them for a few days after that IIRC). My issue is that they...

Here's a quote from their update about 10 weeks ago. "Hey Everyone, It’s October 15th and we’re back with another update. We’re four days away from receiving the largest batch of Grasshopper components yet. The next shipment includes enough parts to deliver all outstanding Grasshopper units...

You can't put this delay on backers changing their orders at the last minute or not knowing how to use email. This is on GHL, and their transparency goes only as far as answering specific questions from people that have made the effort to contact them. And yes, they said themselves weeks ago...

It's the one they'll release before GH3, the one where they finally work out all the kinks...

The point of "customer service" is to assist customers. People shouldn't have to use a special header to get them to read and respond to an email, and if someone is confusing or long-winded, they should write back for clarification, not ignore them. Not saying that's been happening, but I don't...

Well, shit does happen, and "any day" is pretty vague. I'm more pissed at them for saying weeks ago that they were getting all the necessary parts to fill all orders. Which turns out not to have been true, since they have been waiting on some parts for at least a week.

Asked them what's the deal, here's Caroline's response: "We have not forgotten about you. We had to send some more parts for Anodizing. Purple is a popular color. We should get these parts back any day and get your Grasshopper out shortly after the Holiday. " So what if purple is a popular...

Remember a couple of updates ago, when they said they were about to receive all the parts to fulfill all orders? Remember, I posted 3 weeks ago that I had confirmed my address? They still haven't shipped my purple Ti. Someone posted an email from Caroline on Reddit, asking what the hold up...

Already happened plenty of times, warranty or no. Don't think they've gotten quite as much as $500 for them though....

Anything other than the number of pledges listed on the IGG page is pure speculation though.

But the 102 international people also got/will get hoppers, right? Where did 2744 come from again? How does anyone other than GHL know how many each backer is getting? People on Reddit are posting about receiving several. Oh well, doesn't really matter either way, just something to speculate on...

300 more backers than total Grasshoppers? That doesn't seem right....
