Delivery date updates - slipping.

zardoz99

Just received another email from Farnell Uk.

 

Delivery date has slipped another 3 weeks, to mid May.

 

Now on nearly 50 days back-order.

 

Is everyone else seeing this?

  • Please stop bleating and read the blogs.  The first 10k were funded by the Foundation members mortgaging their houses.  If they had not gone to major suppliers (Farnell and RS) the next batch would have been funded by the small profits from the first batch, and so on - you would have been waiting years to get one.  This way the suppliers can source parts for 100k+ units and go into mass production. This is going to take time to set up.  It took the Foundation 2 months from checking the beta boards to getting the first batch manufactured and shipped, so that is in line with the new production supply line. Have some patience and get a life.  Other people have done all the hard work for you to reap the benefits.

    I Ordered just after 8am on launch day,  and when my order got pushed back I spoke to someone at Farnell and was told that they were only recieving 800 units.  Not 10'000 or even half that.
