The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

[zymos]

The June 15th update said they were expecting to be making 1000/week by the end of July.
That did not happen
That was way before they hired any additional workers.
Hopefully the fact that we are hearing about more and more shipping confirmations means that they are speeding up assembly....

 

[nikcorda]

we keep hearing more and more about shipping confirmations, but not that many are actually shipping. very discouraging.

its also the end of the week, werent shipping updates supposed to be updated on the website?

not that i really want to see my ship date slip any further...

No it said "Adjustments to the price and estimated delivery for new orders will be made this month as well"

And I think we've figured out their months and ours don't line up

 

[zymos]

Nikcorda is referring to "Please consult the website for updated estimated shipping info later this coming week." They said that on Sat. Week's not over yet though!

 

[MikeG7265]

I've not done good today. I missed that too. Apologies.

Good news, another shipping confirmation on reddit for a TI unit.​

 

[lexfrmqu]

Same here. Had it shipped to my wife's job so I won't get it until Monday. I'm on vacation so I'll probably have lunch with her so I can get it before she gets home lol... I ordered a plain titanium (I think I was the fourth to order titanium during the campaign). Hoping I don't end up with stainless like another member mentioned. Keeping my hopes high though...

It actually shipped early. Everything looks good. No scratches, no blemishes. Tried it and I like it a lot, still need more time with it. The mouthpiece gets hot after a couple of hits.

Check your estimated ship dates. Mine just went from August to September (Feb 8 preorder).

 

[btka]

[nikcorda]

Same with me except I ordered early june. More time to work out the bugs I hope. Nice for the updated shipping date as promised though.

 

[syrupy]

I see a preorder made today went from September to October delivery. It's like a carrot, just out of reach.

 

[DirtD1V3R]

Yup. I ordered 12/27/14 orig ship date April, now September. I am actually ok with it going to September bc now I don't have to get my hope up; that it's coming in August. Hopefully they are trying to be more realistic in their estimations. I wonder if any pre-orders have an August estimation?

 

[tubasco]

WAIT. I'm an IGG BACKER from 12/11/2013 and my date just changed to September also! WTF?

 

[paytonpenn]

I'm a backer from early November.
Changed to September.
Unfortunate.

Preorders don't get your hopes up.

Couple of reports on reddit this morning of non early/non holiday backer units being shipped.

2013 early bird here, just got bumped from july to september. It's a bunch of crap that non-early birds/non-holiday backers are getting shipments now, while lingering earlybirds get ignored. If these guys had their shit together, they would be shipping by order date rather than this clusterfuck (imho).

 

[Brettomomyces]

Hey y'all, I just signed up because I've been lurking since page 13 or so and I wanted to join in finally.

IGG regular backer, November 14th, color Ti (originally gonna do green but I'm digging the way the bronze came out).

My shipping date was just changed from July as well, but only to August. As it's been August for a week already I'm pretty excited. I guess I'm right around the cut off from August to September shipping.

What model did you get? That'd crazy that you got bumped past me

Another 12/13/13 backer here, estimate changed from July to September. Bummer, but on the other hand maybe they will actually get a fucking estimate right for once. In 2 months shits gotta be in order right?




Jk I've been here from the start of the old tread, I'm not holding my breath

 

[artist]

That thread is like they just spent the first dollar they ever made. I got bumped to September, but I wasn't expecting it any different.

 

[speedyg]

Mid Nov early backer, SS and Green Ti, address confirmation received in mid July. Shipping estimate changed today from July to August.

Getting tired of waiting but I guess it will get here sooner or later. Whatever.

Personally, I'm just concerned about receiving a quality product . 2 years is long to wait for a vaporizer but it was a crowdfunding campaign. In real life you must expect long delays for new ventures or even failed crowdfunded ventures! Even building/maintaining a bridge (by the city or government) usually have long delays too. Completion date almost always get pushed (unfortunately, maybe things will be better in the future). So when I read that the hopper labs never compromised on the quality beside all the set backs, adjustments and delays, I applaud them for it. I'm a pre-order, so I probably won't have to wait that long but I knew in advance that they were not very good with their shipping date estimates. I wouldn't be surprised if I receive mine in December or even next year and I still ordered one. Hopefully, I get an extra battery for the trouble . I'm the type of person checking by shipping status 3 times a day when I'm waiting for something in the mail, so I understand the anticipation. The whole perspective change when you have the product in your hand. That's when you want a quality one for the long haul and you're happy (if) they didn't compromised on the quality.

I backed on dec. 9 2013. Got bumped from july to september. THE WEIRD THING though is that I added a second hopper to my order in feb 2015, and THAT one still says estimated ship date is August.
Is it because they're obligated to ship pre-orders but not backers?
