  • Gotta say the journey so far has been fun.

  • Its in Mumbai(and shipment status is unknown now). And they had contacted for KYC form. And now they are not picking up call and when pick up they are just transferring to security and go on. No email response from them. But before this i never came across such incident when I got shipment from element14.

     

    And from reviews it seems, UPS has worst customer service experiences for many people similar to me.

  • Welcome to India! Use your tracker to check status and leave a message on twitter and someone will be in touch. If you are in the northern part of India then your shipment is in Delhi else in Bangalore or Mumbai. Let me know if you need any help with contact number since I know most of these blokes by now and vice versa.

  • UPS shipment guys asked some information to clear it from customs and I am trying to follow up with them but they are not responding. image both over email or call.

  • Let me check to see what's going on with your shipment.

  • Very nice to see someone getting off the ground so fast. I am eager to see what you guys produce since this little kit is a lot more powerful than a lot of the other out there. Awesome stuff

     

    Cheers,

  • Awesome...!! I am yet to receive the board. image

  • image

    I will enjoy! and guess what its pretty sweet just going through software and playing around with it before I start my project.   the demo software I wont be going into on it at all.  As that's all I ever see on the internet is the demo software being used.

  • I'm not sure how you can call the folks associated with the Element14 RoadTests Scammers.   Element14 is not asking you for any money or buy anything and just ask the selected RoadTesters to post their experience and opinion of the product. You even get to keep the product for free after the RoadTest. How cool is that?

     

     

    Randall and the folks that run this are awesome and do a great job keeping things on track despite the number of RoadTests and other Projects that Element14 is running.  That must be a tough job.

     

    As far as the selection of the RoadTesters, it was my understanding that the Product vendor and others outside of Element14 were involved in selecting the folks that partake in a RoadTest.  If certain folks are selected repeatedly, I suspect it is due to both the Application they provided as well as other content they have posted on the Element14 web site.  It's sort of a guarantee that at least some folks that receive the RoadTest device will actually post something by the assigned due date, which can be quite challenging at times.

     

    I would suggest rather than get frustrated, look at the 3 repeat RoadTesters and see what they have posted in the past.  Heck, maybe even contact them to get advice as to how to improve your own application thus increasing your chances of being selected next time.  

  • Wow ..... I was not aware of thr numbers of applications that were so badly put together.

    You have to wonder if that is the application, then what are the chances of getting a review.

     

    Good advise.

    I think people have forgotten how to sell themselves and their idea.

     

    Enjoy your test and don't worry about those that have nothing useful to add.

     

    Cheers
