You've got to be f*cking kidding me!
"Your cases are ready and will be shipped on the 30th of April."
"Wait! No, the boxes were labeled wrong."
"Nope, sorry wrong again, there were no boxes afterall we are STILL not done getting your order ready".
What's next?
"Don't know how to tell you this, but a gang of angry mongols broke through the Great Wall and ransacked our factory. Your cases were destroyed in the chaos."

It really sounds like the pandora is of very low priority for them.

I once ordered a guitar pedal from japan through a shop in my town. I went in every week for 6 months, getting a new excuse every time. The final straw was: "yea we've spoken to them and the cargo ship that it was on was actually hijacked by pirates" This all brings back those memories.
I have to add something my friend asked me this weekend:
"hey when is that thing that you ordered ready? what was it... the Proteous Nebulous?"

I think here and now would be an appropriate time to share the following:
I love the OpenPandora project. I am a tremendous fan of the project's ambitions and founding credo. I hope this project continues to last long into the future - and someday, somehow, I hope to contribute to it's well being.
Ahhhhhhh, now I feel better.

I think the Chinese Plastics Factory has a guard dog. I think their dog mistook the Pandora cases for homework, and ate them.

1000
Ed, I would like to ask you a question, and hopefully if you have the time, you will answer with the most honesty possible! You are the go to man around here! B)EvilDragon said:
Let's just say these 1000 cases arrive within a few weeks, how long do you actually believe it will take the mould factory to produce the remaining 3000-9000 cases? Now please don't give me an estimate based on the info they have given the team, as that is "USELESS"! I'm looking for and Ed(evildragon) the business mans personal opinion based on the last several months since the Chinese NY wrapped up?
It looks to me that christmas will be the completetion date, maybe? The fact that the cases have still not been painted, is really tragic in my opinion. Where did the dates go that they would be ready in mid april for no paint, and a few days later with paint go? Since the valcano problem, did they just stop working since no one could pick up the shipment? Wasn't the excuse a few days ago, that they needed weight and package info for a pick up? I thought they where done!
I'm not ragging on anyone, but if it has taken 3 months to produce 1000 cases, anyone here can do the math for the remaining amount, and know they are not coming anytime soon, sadly!
As always, thanks for your info and your time!Chris

It's one thing to lie in order to get someone to buy something. That almost seems like normal business.
But they are lying after you bought it. I've beat people's asses before over doing shit like that, I've gotten MY ass beat for doing shit like that.
Someone needs to physically go down there and just watch them with a big stick, no excuses, no breaks, just finish.
When it's done, take your big stick, pallet of 10,000 cases, and the molds, get on the plane and just never look back.

Why does everyone think it has taken 3 months to produce 1000 cases?
The MOULD was finished with all the tweakings about early (see this entry).
The PRODUCTION of the 1000 cases took two days, AFAIR. The thing that took a while longer was doing tests painting the cases (while the volcano was errupting).
The only thing we have no idea is why it took them so long to start the painting (they didn't start until Friday).
Basically, 1000 cases can be produced and painted within a week if they really DO it.

WTF?!?!? :angry:EvilDragon said:
We are moving backwards every day. First it was like we just wait for UPS to pick up the FINISHED Cases, but we had to wait just because of the Volcano. This was a pretty long time. THEN it was told that they actualy didn't pack and weight the Batch but everything is ready for this. NOW you tell us that they didn't even started with Painting? :blink:
What the hell is going on there? And there never were any signs in the last weeks that the chinese Factory fools you again? No proof that the Cases were in the state, the Factory promised? Just *plop* and we are again weeks back in the timeline? Sorry but thats not even a bad comunication with the Factory, this is actualy no communication.
And it looks like the OP Team still has not made enough preasure to pull the Pandora project over the other Projects of this stupid company so that they finish our Pandora Cases first and then go to the other stuff. This would be my goal if I talk to them.
So what the hell did they all these Weeks since they told us, the Package is ready to ship?

My deepest apologies Ed. I just go off the information I get here. I must have a super low reading comprehension, I guess I should stop reading these forums, as I guess I must be border line retarded to think it has taken 3 months to produce 1000 cases!EvilDragon said:jumpman said:Ed, I would like to ask you a question, and hopefully if you have the time, you will answer with the most honesty possible!

It's easy to fall in to a state of expecting outrageous things to be true when talking about this factory.
fusion_power said:
Fatih had daily talks with them. They said it's all done. Until we finally got a slot from UPS and told them when it will be picked up.
Then the excuses came.
Fatih got angry and now has a new person to talk to (he requested the same person he talked to for TV Out cable production, as that went flawlessly).
She told him that the cases had in fact been produced but the painting company (yep, it's a different company) couldn't paint it yet.
So... best of luck to all of us that she will handle the things way better. At least she didn't lie to us yet and sent us all the TV Out cable prototypes when she told us.
If you are able to find that out, I'll pay you 500 EUR instantly.
We weren't.
No worries.
