Neither am I, still placed...
Here is good signs on this campaign, 4 updates in couple of days. This is the right approach on communication. But still, they could be little bit more transparent with updates.
first Swedish/Finnish, Russian, Dvorak, Czech, Norwegian/Danish and Italian Cosmos have been quality checked
So just "first", not all of them? And does this mean that there is some rejected units and that mean those have to remade. And in worst case scenario this mean that subcontractor factory can remade these in few weeks, months or something. And after that next free space on assembly lines schedule might be in few weeks/months. And before that there is no full pallet of QC passed Cosmos, so there is no pallet at all to import to UK?
But if everything is Ok, everything will go smoothly, all units will pass QC, all units will wrapped and stagged to pallet after factorys holiday. After that there is transportation to HK and export customs at HK, transportation to UK, import customs at UK, transportation to distribution center, some handling at distribution center and finally last mile couriers. This is best case scenario and everyone can made short calculations when we can get our Perks if everything go smoothly...
On our new update…
Today, we locked over a hunderd....
So if pallet can fit about 300 Cosmo, there is 1/3 of pallet, ready for export? (300 unit per pallet is just my rough estimation). In other hand we don’t know for sure how many units is still at this so called "last European batch", is it approximately this 300, 500, 800 or something else. Depends which numbers we trying to ques our quantity: interviews or few weeks old updates....
And after all, retail sells started already before us. There might be one good point also for us who haven’t yet received our Perks. It feels bad, but it might have been necessary thing to do, that we all going to receive our perks eventually and PlanetComputers avoid bankrupt. If they sold approximately 1000 unit to Japanese retail sell, they will get approx couple of hundred thousand and they can produce also our Perks too. And by Black Friday /Cyber Monday sell, they might now funded recent shippings of perks we have seen on IndieGoGo comment section.
Few things that we can still hope, is that everything will go smoothly, QC will be decent and PlanetComputers will be solid company and we get ongoing support for our devices and might see wider range of devices in future… My personal faith is very fragile at the moment, sorry for that....
After all, Good point here is that there are at least more updates within couple of days. This is the right approach. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, God jul, Glædelig jul, Vrolijk kerstfeest, Hyvää Joulua... Over and out now for a while again….
