The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

[Kalessin]

I haven't gone to look for it, because for myself I'm not that worried, but I don't remember where I saw it. No idea which update it was, it could have even been in one of the preorder emails. I really have no idea. Or I could have dreamed it.

If there's an update posted every fifteen days, why would there need to be a month's grace period in the estimates? (I'm not saying there wasn't!)

But even if they had used a disclaimer a YEAR ago, saying that the estimates were + or - a month, I don't think that same qualifier should apply when they make a call from 10 days out, as they have just done. Pretty much bullshit far's I can smell.

Just out of curiosity, when was the last date you could become a backer of the Grasshopper? How far are we away from all the backers being taken care of?

 

[Shrike]

Dec 14, '13...I'm one of them and still waiting to hear that mine will be shipped...nothing yet with hours left in Nov...

 

[hi_there]

why would there need to be a month's grace period in the estimates?

They have been saying mass shipping is coming in a month for the last 16 months....

 

[Gregori]

Do not forget they didn't lie. They are just very wrong, very often.

 

[Dafni]

How ridiculous is that? I wonder what they are thinking when they type their updates. Do they believe their own crap?

Ordered mine December 27th 2014 and still have not received my grasshopper. If anyone received theirs recently, when was it ordered to help us all "judge" when they may arrive.....if ever!

Technically, you "pre-ordered"- they are still working to ship to backers from Dec 2013.

Look toward tonight's update for your answer grasshopper.
Or is it your grasshopper answer?

Don't hold your breath They are still fulfilling the backers orders. I'd say you are at least 6-8 weeks away till they catch up to your order.

Just got the address confirmation email, Dec. 12th backer. Purple Ti.
Now for some more waiting. I'm used to it by now...

So they got from Dec. 4th to Dec. 11 in the last month? Does not seem like mass shipping has kicked in yet.

Ok now I'm getting a little excited, been pulling for you dude! lol

(Though perhaps they just wanted to get confirmation out for all backers now, since they missed November? I guess we'll find out tomorrow)

damn! what color did you order @zymos ?

I'm Dec 11, SS & Green Ti, and still no confirmation email here...

 

[zymos]

Purple Ti. I'll edit my other post, should have mentioned that in the first place....

 

[JigMelon]

Same here; Dec. 12th 2013 backer, Purple Ti, USA, got address confirmation today around 2:40pm EST.

 

[tubasco]

damn... purple is the color of the day i guess.

i hope they get more of the other colors assembled soon. ugh.

 

[zymos]

Who knows? Maybe after they ship out a batch of purples, they'll get some new machines, nail down the problems, figure it all out, and finally reach perfection....

Cause purple is green's beta tester ya know!

 

[Shrike]

...hopefully hear from GHL tomorrow...if they are up to Dec 12th, then the 14th "should" be notified tomorrow??...Thursday???...can't believe it's finally almost maybe perhaps nearly time...

...I'm "tentatively" hopeful...I think...

 

[CarolKing]

I was under the impression that all the backers would be taken care of and they would be starting to ship the preorders come December. Was that a miscommunication?

 

[Shrike]

Seems like hopefully they are only off by a few days for finishing up on the backers...we'll see...

 

[rcflo]

Ahhh December 9th, 2013 backer... is it really going to be 2 whole years? What repeat excuses are we gonna get tonight in our update email?

Wow, that sucks. I'm a December 5th backer and haven't gotten my email yet. I asked Caroline last week and she said:

I apologize that I have gotten a bit out of order with sending address
verification emails. You will most likely be getting your address
verification email this coming week. We appreciate your patience.

That was on the 29th, so I hope they follow through with that. December 5th to December 12th is a pretty big gap.

The latest address confirmations are for colored TI. The SS are not above December 8th if I'm not mistaken(I only recall Dec 5th sent). Still now address confirmations are coming in faster. We're getting close to December 15th. I can't wait to get mine!
