New cables, more boards (2011-04-15)


Well, I ordered from Germany and my feeling tells me I'm somewhere in the last quarter (I ordered quite late)
By this point in time, I'm willing to bet there's a fairly large disconnect between ED and Craig's queues. Remember, ED is getting 1/4 of the Pandoras to send out to his customers, but I doubt exactly 1 out of every 4 were purchased in line.


That is to say, Craig's Pandora #1500 will be sent at about the same time as EDs Pandora #500 (from my understanding of their agreement), but ED's Pandora #500 may have been ordered days or even weeks before or after Craig's Pandora #1500. The result could be someone who ordered from Germany several days into the pre-order receiving theirs before someone who ordered on day 1 or 2 from the UK.
 
batch 1 is nearly finished


This is not true at all.


they are shipping the 2008 october orders, and the last orders for batch 1 were done in 2010 feb/march.


so, there is still a loooooong time before the batch 1 is complete.


note that the half of the batch 1 is not reached yet...


they are shipping the 1200/1300 queue position orders according to a recent post of this topic

Over half the orders were from the first few days. The other half is over an entire year.
 
Well, 3jane, if we rearrange the letters in your post a little and leave some of them out, you actually said:

batch 1 is early! I think crickets are forthcoming! Treat cynic mushrooms harder!


Make charitable thoughts!

So it could've been much worse ;)

Forsooth, is nothing sacred? Witness at least, dear readers - those exclamation marks are a blatant fabrication.

yes but that doesn't change the fact that it remains 700-800 units to ship to only reach the critical level of half way.

I'd like to believe that given I'm after the 3000 mark in the queue, I had been trying to avoid finding out my queue position but curiosity got the better of me a couple of weeks ago.


Anyway when I decided to bother OP for my number I got the following info in the email:


"We now estimate completing first batch shipping by the end of May/June"


I'll just go back to my lurking now....

For christ sake... it NEVER ENDS.


For what must be the 100th time, each queue location does not = 1 pandora.

So does this mean that some people bought like 10 TV cords and that's all?


I understand that 1 pandora != 1 queue position, as you reserve some for RMAs...

No, he means that some people bought 2 or 3 pandoras, maybe 1 for them and 1 for the wife/kids, or 1 for me and 2 for ebay...who knows.


EDIT: If this still wasn't clear, that means they have to make 3 pandoras for this 1 queue (order) number.


But at the same time they haven't updated the status page in a month and a half, or made any confirmations on what queue numbers might be shipping.


But the "first batch" as we still seem to refer to was only 4000 units, and we were at 2000 units according to status page in feburary. I'm still going with no news is probably not good news.

A FYI for those that don't follow the other threads. I ordered Oct 2 18:35 GMT and got my email Friday 13th. Orders will really start to thin out I presume so can't be long now for end of Batch1.

Ei Tam Toucan.


Thanks for posting this valuable information. And Contratulation to you !!


I ordered "openpandorasales@gmail.com Thu Oct 2 00:15:18 2008" , and nothing so far (not even in the spam folder).


Anyone in the same situation (ordered before Tam Toucan and no delivery notification) ?


Let s wait a bit more, maybe mine was down on the stack ...


Regards

Yup.. My order date/time was Wed, Oct 1 2008 10:19 am


Nothing in e-mail yet


Now, I was one of the cursed - I'd ordered with Amex originally, and didn't get my money back. I was assured by Jacquelyn on Marc 25th, 2009 that I was still going to get my unit.


Hopefully I've not been forgotten.

Can we get a update on the numbers CircuitCo reports to OPL like we were getting?

Well the problem here is that there are numerous threads - thousands of posts and I have read alot of them but not once have I read this until now.


If someone orders 3 then there queue position would be 1200 - 1202 (out of 3800 split over yourself, ED and a very few for Faith).


Anyway all that is irrelevant if the way you do it is position 1200 can be 1 person with 10 Pandoras.


Information should be given via Newsletters or at the very minimum on the OPEN PANDORA BLOG - reliance on the forums and twitter is not good. They should be used in addition not instead of.
 
Just for a moment there, we had ED posting some really informative figures from CC for two weeks in a row.


It's a shame that those type of details have not been available since.

I'd rather have him build Pandoras like he's doing. Keep up the good work!

ok ok.


So how to understand the "1st batch" expression?


4000 orders or 4000 units?


if it is 4000 orders, how many units are envisaged for the 1st batch?

They need to hire school leaving technicians to do the assembly so ED and co can concentrate on improving the pandora and updating the site (weekly). This way people get their Pandora's and new order will be more likely to come in, for this is the reason I didn't order one yet.
