at that link of yours... My order is the last one should I cry too?
Or someone order the exact same thing at the same day :D

Order ID: 15399 Dec. 20, 2014, 12:20 p.m.

BTW pushed back to October too.

I was, literally, emailing back and forth with Caroline yesterday. Not more than 18 hours ago, and she confirmed my shipment date for September. Now it's pushed back again overnight without a heads up. Guess I forgot about September Fools day!

same here. I added one Stainless Grasshopper to have on the go out of house and ask to ship w/e is ready first.

Yep, I ordered July 25th and mine just got moved to November. I knew September was too good to be true. Gives them time to figure out this back-end situation. I expected that an update would have preceded these push-backs.

New rule: if you bitch over on the “adult” thread about the failure rate & need for more beta testing, then you can’t also come here and moan about the shipping timeframe - or vice-versa - because they are currently mutually exclusive. You know who you are :cool:

JK, do whatever you want :rofl:

BTW my Feb pre-order went from Sept to Oct which I expected and maybe will increase my chances of getting a flawless one. But I can understand how backers being pushed to October might be less sanguine.

Ima break that rule if I feel like it!

Might be one thing if the shipping was so damn slow because they extensively tested each unit before shipping it, but the "I'm on my third back end and its defective" comment puts the lie to that notion.

So darn upset my shipping date just keeps getting pushed and pushed further away. The company had told me after several times of being pushed back that September is a realistic date for me receiving my unit. Now upon checking my order status it says November. Super upset , I know we have all been waiting but i feel this is very unfair to all of us. Sorry i had to vent ...

Yeah that was rather disturbing. Then that post was followed by a rave review. What a roller-coaster this is!

Right there with you @zymos & @Shrike, you guys must be in the tail end backer group and I'm in the early pre order group for my ss unit.

Interestingly,
ss pre ordered mid January originally set for April delivery, then May, then July, then August, then September, now October.

Whereas two color Tis ordered in April were set for May delivery, then June, then August, then August still, then September still in synch with my ss, til now November.

So at least I'll have ss earlier, before Ti again? Eh, not much of a silver lining. Seriously Zion made me completely not care about this waiting game anymore, at this rate I'll probably have the stealth mini Zion before a Hopper too, hell likely I'll have two Zions by then... (and revised Indicas finally? New IQ and O2 even?)

It's all fairly hilarious, but we still expect these last estimates to stick? This is where they polish out all the bugs? Waiting for better QC is worthwhile (ie Indica), but with great/fancy tech comes great/fancy tech bugs. I knew its promises were possible, just forgot about all the room for issues. It's going to be a crazy revolutionary device some day, but now it makes me laugh whilst I enjoy Zion simplicity

Totally, and all set to continue. My Dec 3 estimate moved from August to September, with me somewhere around #1500, the new equipment - which is still a couple weeks away - has to get integrated very quickly plus everything else has to scale up... it's another best-case-scenario estimate. For me best case is I get a hopper at the very end of September from the first batch to be put out in bulk from new equipment w/ the team testing/packing/shipping 5-10x more than in any previous week. :clap:

And to get the full circle into one post, the reviews are consistently showing a lot of what I'm hoping for: a vape one-hitter. Sweet, can't wait.

There's something calming about this much ambiguity.

Looks like early December is the cut off for a "September delivery". I'm a December 1st 2013 backer and my eta still says September, not that it means anything to me. I'd still be very surprised if I received my hopper this month

Looks like backers are being told Sept. and
maybe some early preorders.
Looks like most early pre-orders through Feb. March, and maybe April 2015 estimated for Oct.
And around May and on slated for Nov./Dec.
From the estimates given on how many are ordered that's a lot of hoppers to get moving in that time frame.
Without more hands or that assembly equipment running soon I can't see them reaching those numbers .
