Sorry PB i misspoke in my previous thread. yes 'estimates' not promises, i think i just chose a different word cause it fit better, but yes, none of their predictions were promises at all, you are correct. merely inaccurate 'estimates'.
New information has come to light, so here's the latest information/estimation (note: none of this is official, just speculatin')
- -For pre-orders, i'm estimating somewhere around 200 total SS orders (certainly not accurate, but a starting point). [plus around 100 titanium but not enough parts to ship those yet]
- -Approximately 40 units have been shipped thus far. (according to TET)
- -No more units will ship this week until bulk ceramics arrive (estimated fri-mon sometime).
- -At a pace of 15 units shipped per day, with an estimated ~160 remaining units, this would be about 11 business days until ALL units are shipped. Since we know none will ship until monday at the earliest, this would mean by Feb. 18th (in theory, at the earliest) all pre-order units would be shipped out.
- To apply this to my own order:
- -Approximately 75 orders are in line before my early december pre-order (according to TET)
- --At a pace of 15 units shipped per day, with an estimated ~75 remaining units in line before mine, assuming they resume shipping this monday, this would be about 5 business days of shipping before mine is shipped---in theory mine will ship on Feb. 11th at the very earliest.
EDIT: As others have pointed out we don't know how many ceramics will be rejected for QC, but since theyre getting a large shipment i assume that includes enough stock to handle those rejects and still ship out the remaining units, but i certainly could be wrong since that wasn't the case previously with the ceramic!
Hope this info helps people make a more educated guess as to their REAL shipping date, since most of the official updates do not seem to be very realistic or take all the variables into account, ya know, little insignificant factors like having all of the parts in stock (based on results thus far, this is 100% true).
Have a good one folks, blaze tough
EDIT: yeah Dreamerr i agree, my confidence in the company is pretty high, i think i'm just miffed about more inaccurate estimates, naturally makes me want to withdraw my support. but as i said, i'm thoroughly sold on the product, so waiting it out is probably best. good insight.
