It's an obsession but it's pleasin'
Grasshopper Pre-order
August Update
Wow, there is a lot of what I consider real news in this one.
Below is the new building where Hoppers will be machined.
I guess their cash flow must be OK if they are putting up a new building. Either that or their P&Ls look strong enough for some deeper pocket to be willing to help them reach the next level. Either way, that does not look like a company on the ropes.
While August did not see a large increase in Grasshoppers shipped, we did get address confirmation emails sent to every pre-order placed in 2015! These units will be shipping shortly! Although shipping times and order volume are both greater than we anticipated, we are making rapid progress. With 2015 orders almost complete we will get 2016 estimates updated soon.
WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!? Did I fall asleep? I haven't seen a single mention in the shipping thread of 4th quarter orders getting confirmed. In fact, I haven't seen any activity in the shipping thread for days. Oh, whaddaya know? The shipping thread once again unwatched itself. Now I have to catch up on 3 pages of posts. I'll be right back.....
Damn, they really are getting through all the 2015 orders!!!
The ESD on my Jan 2016 order is still showing August. I guess that will be changing soon and I may actually be hopping as early as this month! Or not. Who knows.
We are using our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts to post mid-month updates and send out friendly reminders. In case you missed it, we used our social media accounts for a Grasshopper T-shirt Giveaway this August! Thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to the winners! Follow the Grasshopper on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, keep an eye out for more giveaways and look forward to more mid-month updates posted on these platforms.
Guess I'll have to include a check of their FB page in my daily rounds since I'm not spending QUITE enough time in front of the computer looking at GH-related stuff.
One of our long-term goals at Hoppers Labs is to always listen to the community and provide products that improve our customer's’ overall experience. We closely follow the forums and social media outlets to read about your Grasshopper experiences, ideas, or concerns. We bring those same discussions into our brainstorming sessions and because of your feedback, extra-front ends are now available for individual sale! Additionally, new Silicone Mouthpieces are in the works and the new Grasshopper Tee is available on the site!
Wow, they are actually reading what we write! Looking forward to seeing the new silicone mouthpiece. Maybe mine will ship with it?
