Hi Everyone,
Thanks for checking out the mid-July update. Shipping has been our main focus for the last 15 days and we are making good headway. We’ve ironed out some of the production kinks and are bringing on more staff to increase the assembly rate. It’s been a new challenge to design processes and tools to aid in efficient assembly but we are continuing to refine our techniques. Sometimes it’s hard to know whether to spend a day building Grasshoppers, or to spend that day building tools to make building Grasshoppers faster. Nevertheless, we are doing lots of both and things are accelerating.
We’ve run into a small problem with the Stainless Case. We received our first batch of cases and were excited to start shipping those out, but a design error led to some small scratching on the Grasshoppers when they were placed inside. Although minor, we were not satisfied with that result and are modifying the cases to fix the problem. Orders with cases will not be delayed, and we will ship the case separately once the new batch comes in.
Now that shipping has started, we know everyone is more anxious than ever to get their Hoppers. The process is getting faster with every passing day, so keep an eye out for your address verification email.
Check back on the 1st for more Grasshopper news.
