"your Pandora Has Been Shipped"

[gaterooze]

Well I picked a good week to come back. Lots of happy posts! Congrats to everyone finally getting their units.

edit: nevermind, I thought you were still waiting for yours and offered to meet up to try my fresh arrival - just realised you already got yours. The Aussie contingent must be growing now...

Everybody I've shown so far wants a Pandora. I love this thing. My only issue is wifi and I've noticed I am not alone. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon or maybe there can one universal USB Wifi adapter we can use while waiting for a fix.

Anyways, I had to leave my Pandy at home because I wasn't getting any work done the past 2 days.

What's wrong with wifi? Only thing I noticed is that it's a bit slow, but more than fast enough for browsing and stuff.

^ Some people have issues, I think it depends on the individual setup (and different routers, access points etc). If anyone is having trouble, make sure to try the beta wifi driver here:

Thanks for the thought though!

So is anyone else frantically refreshing the tracking page on usps.com only to read:

"Service(s): Registered Mail™
Status: Origin Post is Preparing Shipment

We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece."

I was told "Just to let you know we are despatching a new console to you today" by jacquelyn on january 6th and needless to say I'm getting a little impatient, especially considering I sent it to get fixed in early september... I know sometimes the tracking information doesn't get updated properly, I once received a package when the last stage was something like "Acceptance, this item was accepted at the post office (in the state I bought the item from)" so I haven't contacted anyone from the post office yet. Anyone else experiencing anything similar or know why it's stuck at that stage? If not how long should I wait before I get concerned? If it did ship it should take about 2 weeks or so to get here right (to the US)?

I've come to never trust the tracking from USPS. I have never once seen it be even mildly accurate. (Except some occasions when it has reflected that my package had arrived, but who cares at that point?)

I've had a better experience with the tracking than you have, but now that I think about it the tracking info has been extremely inaccurate quite a few times. Maybe I was just hoping this would be one of those times it would be accurate. I'll just continue to be patient for a little while longer, thanks.

Have no more pandora's been shipped this week? I'm starting to get worried as I ordered on the 30st of sept 2008 in the evening and I read somewhere that some guy who ordered on october 1st had received his already?

Mine is sitting in customs.. Argghhh...
5 days already. Longer it takes, the more I fear some inspector will like it..

Same here. It has been stuck there since the 14th. I can tell already that this week is out. Hopefully, next week is the charm...

I'll be angry if it doesn't get out of there before this month is out. I don't want to wait weeks or... 2 months™.

How are you able to determine that it's in customs?

2011/01/14 xx:xx MISSISSAUGA International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

Directly from my tracking. I used regular airmail.

Oh. My e-mail didn't contain any tracking info. I guess I just have to wait and hope it comes soon-ish

Wait. Is this article implying that batch 2 Pandoras haven't even begun to ship yet?

Batch 2 won't ship for a very long time. Batch 1 seems to be about 700-800 units shipped out of 2000 (or however big the first batch it)

Wait, when did they take orders for a Second Batch? o_ô The First Batch is a 4000 unit batch that has yet to have all of the units made and sent out to the customers. (~3800 IIRC)

How did you get tracking though? I thought you had to choose UPS for that, not airmail. I have regular airmail and didn't get tracking in my email. I got my email the same day as you and I'm in Canada too, East coast though.

Edit: Nevermind I just received mine today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
