If it was me I would bite the bullet on the postage
I don't have the other one anymore, only would be sending in the one.

I emailed a few days ago and received a response today about why the last 300 are dragging and Caroline said...
I appreciate being able to read these emails, so thank you, and I'm glad that you got permission to post them. With my main question being a general "When?", I don't feel need to write to them, so I like getting some info from others.Yeah I posted this so people could maybe understand why the shipping had slowed down not for her words to be called into question or for people to take personal offense. I'm not making an excuse for them but we don't know how dependent GHL is upon a person like Caroline. I do have permission to post emails from GHL, when I first began corresponding with them I specifically asked if they minded if I posted all future emails and they said it was cool.

"We have about 300 backers left to ship Grasshoppers to. When these folks confirm their shipping address, many of them add additional Grasshopper to their orders. Also, we have a few retail kits that were purchased during the Indiegogo Campaign that we will be shipping before beginning pre-orders.
I hope this answers your questions for you.
Best,
Caroline"
Again we don't know what is going on inside their walls and they are people and have personal lives. I appreciated the candid response even if it was to appease me, which I doubt but idk. They are trying and I am patient. So, here I sit excitedly waiting to get mine.
Just joined the grasshopper preorder crew.
Can't wait till my dark grey Ti arrives
what is your a delivery date they estimate for your order? March?
the dates might all change on Monday!
I think someone said that over in the shipping thread...
http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-grasshopper-shipping-poll.18100/page-117#post-914709Where is the shipping thread?
when did you recive your gh... as far as I can remember it is 2 to 4 months...Yea I am pretty much done, did I mention I ordered two, ordered one for a friend also, his was worse, the backend would not even come off...he even tried tools.
Anyways, good luck to everyone else...seems you are gonna need it.
Since these GHs are basically beta units, the company should be paying for shipping these faulty units back to their company.
The thing that absolutely bothers me the most about this company is just the fact that they let backers add additional hopper units to their order upon address confirmation. I don't see how that's fair to the rest of us in line at all.
Received my address confirmation on Jan 14. Finally got a Paypal invoice from Caroline about 40 minutes ago. Just paid for shipping (plus my extra battery/mouthpiece), so it looks like things are still moving, albeit slowly (what else is new?).
Looks like it will be a close call between my Grasshopper and Zion as far as which will arrive first. I'm betting Zion.
That lifetime warranty is pointless if the CS after the sale sucks? The lifetime warranty is only as good as the company still being in business. Furthermore, they seem to be able to get "around" the lifetime warranty by just not accepting warranty service on a "used" GH?
Sent mine in for warranty repair almost two weeks ago. Tried sending a follow up email days ago, still haven't heard back from them. This is beyond frustrating.
Since these GHs are basically beta units, the company should be paying for shipping these faulty units back to their company.
It doesn't seem like good business refusing to pay shipping. I realize it would cost the company a lot of money but it seems like the right thing to do. I'm wondering if I will even want to buy one of these vaporizers. It seemed like an awesome portable but only if it works as advertised.
So if I understand this correctly you have a non-functioning GH but are going to give up on it because its not worth the hassle / shipping in your view. That's cool. So... any interest in doing a teardown for us? I'd be interested in seeing that heater.I don't have the other one anymore, only would be sending in the one.
GHL's knows me well, and as always, are gracious in there acceptance of my praises, FC forum defenses, QC challenges, & critiques. They received my latest email in like gracious fashion and responded that their quality control re my and every account order will get optimal QC out the door going forward. You're welcome... hmmm, only 19 FC posts and already attacking the veterans..Yes, because they're totally trying to send you a broken grasshopper. I hope you realize how much of a jerk you sound like in that comment.
mod note: Please review the rules. We don't allow name calling here.
I'm simply pointing out how your e-mail will do literally nothing to increase HL's quality control. It is completely unnecessary because A) No company ever not tried to send out working products (as evidenced by their generic response about how they strive for the best quality control for all orders. Of course they're going to do their absolute best to send you a working product.) and B) No company will ever make any real changes because a guy sent them an e-mail saying "My product better work!". I'm not attacking veterans, your comment and e-mail were both just completely unnecessary and pointless. It doesn't matter if you're an FC veteran or not, a pointless comment is pointless (Just like your reply to me and even this comment). If I'm not allowed to point that out just because I have less comments than you then this is a really crappy forum. This isn't a crappy forum, therefore, I must be allowed to point out pointless comments despite the total number of comments I've made myself.GHL's knows me well, and as always, are gracious in there acceptance of my praises, FC forum defenses, QC challenges, & critiques.

While GHL would never intentionally send out sub-par units, they have done so nonetheless. GHL knows that I will not accept a GH unit that is not 100% operational out their door and into mine, and that I do not wish to be inconvenienced with back and forth shipping hassles and expenses. Our correspondences and document record are preserved on that score. I believe my correspondence with GHL's will serve me well, though may or may not on behalf of others en masse. I cannot control that. You are entitled to your opinion regarding business and how it should or should not be handled, but my close to 50 years experience in some of the toughest businesses on Earth beg to differ from your criticism. Argue further if you will, it matters not a wit to me.I'm simply pointing out how your e-mail will do literally nothing to increase HL's quality control.
