Well, the problem was the price. I got some quotations, and the moulds were 300k EUR (instead of 60k), so the price of each Pyra in the first batch would'v been 240 EUR more per unit :/
On the other hand, yes, it probably would've been more reliable.
Take a look at my ColUSB adaptor:
Case, packaging and production made in Germany.
All deadlines kept, I'm already shipping it...
It's a lot simpler, but it shows differences.
[doublepost=1545391692,1545388500][/doublepost]Quick update:
I had a phone call with my contact right now.
Oh well... he seems to be doing fine (which is good).
But here's the continuation of the drama:
According to him, FA has already PARTLY produced the parts. They are only producing 100pcs of one mould at a time, as they only have two machines.
That explains the slowness.
We are trying to arrange a FedEx pickup to move the produced parts to me now. Let's see how this works out.
Why do they not know that the moulds are being moved? Well, could be that they "didn't get" that information - or that they're now trying to keep the production by contacting me instead of talking to him.
We don't know and we probably never will know, and honestly, trying to find out who said what and who lied and who not just to BLAME him doesn't make sense.
The IMPORTANT part is that I personally told them about the move of the moulds now and given them a production deadline.
Whatever happened, they cannot blame my contact anymore not telling them about that. So whoever didn't tell the truth - it won't work anymore now.
