The Cases: What's Done And What's Next?

Steady on, the suspense and anticipation are the best part. Let's not deprive him of the show and reveal, he's worked very hard on it, give him his moment.

His moment will be when Panodras are shipping and people are using them and saying 'hey this is cool'. The more people he p*sses off in the mean time, the less response he will have,

Frankly I just think he enjoys being a d*ck.

I would like some news OP team, i hate the waiting and my patience is pretty much over if the cases are red lighted.

Im sure you are doing all you can though.

delicious pics eh. that doesnt sound negative to me, and it sounds teasing for something impressive. how long does it take to make up a few units? a day or two? if its a green light how soon would mass production take place? monday? pics from the factory? oor jus6 pics of a few home made units? either way, stop crying like five year olds and try inferring positive things from positive words.

I'm hoping we can show you some delicious photos on Monday.

This can mean 2 things like.

"MWeston has the cases, but he's not taking any photos intil Monday"
"I think the cases have been shipped and hope MWeston gets them on Monday"

This is the same type of info we got on the 2nd cases.

MWeston never would tease us this way so if he would have the whole case parts, we would already see Pix of it. So I'm pretty sure he didn't have the cases yet or maybe not all parts to show us the complete Pandora.
Or maybe something completely different currently happens behind the curtain. :lol:

I agree with this, I feel the exact same way.

The Chinese New Year holidays will be with us in a couple of weeks' time, I would bet money on that leading to further delays.

So nowadays it's death, taxes and Chinese new year.

People stop arguing please, it means exactly what Craig said; that he hopes he'll have some photos tomorrow. Does it really matter the exact reason why you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the photos?

Exactly! If the cases shipped on the 15th, it takes 1-2 weeks for non express international packages to arrive(anywhere in the world). The team has been real lucky that the last couple of cases have showed up as fast as 5 days. I personally receive and ship several international packages a month, and every shipment is very differant. Some arrive in 3 days, and some take several weeks! This shipment is bigger than previous shipments(more sample cases=bigger package), so monday is still just the sixth business day for delivery times! I'm always the first to slam Craig for open ended comments, that can normally mean hundreds of differant things, but his comments seem to say he is hoping that Michael receives the package monday, and that the case is close to final, and then we see some good pics of a really nice looking case! Nothing more, nothing less.

I would also say based on his statement, it is also possible we don't see anything on monday! Everyone should be prepared for this also. The cases will be here soon, let's save the ass chewing for once they arrive, and we have to wait until march for "revision 4 cases"!

Those who have ordered from deal extreme know how long it takes to get things from China. I don't know if DX uses the cheapest they can or what, but it takes at least 2 weeks.

Those cases _are_ being sent via express. Just check the unofficial blog thread for quotes

Edit:
I'm sorry, I forgot to add this quote to the unofficial blog thread :blush:

There's no such thing as overnight from China unless you have a grand per package. Even then I don't know if that exists. Every package has come express from China and it is three days, minimum. Give it up with the shipping already. That's the least of the problems when there is nothing to ship!

 

[Da Dude]

Let's wait till monday. Hopfully they are perfect and mass production can start

 

[DaMummy]

is it monday yet? no? ok im going back to hibernation

 

[second exodous]

is it monday yet? no? ok im going back to hibernation

Lol, I feel that way also. I had to tell my self I'll visit a few times a day and not check back every half hour looking for updates. I think thats the main problem on here is everyone checks for updates then checks again and then checks again and starts to gets antsy and post something they 'should' regret. Just look here a few times a day unless you come here just to talk and not complain about lack of updates.

For me the picture is very clear: OP have not received anything from China yet and they do not even have a tracking number or else Craig would have made a more concrete statement. They are completely in the dark.

If I were MWeston, I would book a flight to China and not leave before 10.000 cases roll out of the plant.

 

[icet]

Great idea!!
Please catch MWeston and fly with him to China.

Express or otherwise, the same rules apply! I've gotten express UPS packages from Hong Kong/China within 2 days, and just last week I got an express package from Canada, and it took 6 days! Once something becomes international, and has to take a plane ride oversees, and go thru customs, anything can happen. That's why standard express gives no exact amount of days. So monday may happen, and hopefully Craigs tracking number shows the package has in fact arrived in Canada. All we can do is wait!

Here is how to get the 10.000 cases achievement.

Go to MWeston's House.
Fly with him to China.
Scream, yell and curse at the Chinese engineer.
If it doesn't help, start crying.
He should make the 10.000 cases.
Take the 10.000 cases to Dallas.
Congrats, achievement unlocked!

Seriously, I do not think that they have a tacking number. If they had one, they Craig would have written something like "should be here Monday or Tuesday". But he is just hoping. So he doesn't have clue :=(
