Thanks for the information, I will pass it along.
We are working on getting the AU plugs to the forwarder today (according to email communication I’ve seen on the subject), so if all goes well they should ship this week still and be in Australia before August.

thanks Hi @Philips_Support_N, all members of Philips staff and all moderators, especially @IvoGrijt
I should have posted sooner, but work, life, etc.
I’ve had my little, but hefty, PPM for two weeks now and it’s definitely been something special. For its size, it delivers more than what I was expecting; after a lot of hoohah and palava about auto image calibration etc. Given that it’s around a third of the size of my old 720p Epson projector, albeit significantly more expensive that what I got it for off ebay, it just screams ease of use and portability. People have discussed the fan noise, but in comparison to my EPSON, it’s silent, at the highest settings it was impossible to hear audio from the projector speakers unless connected to a speaker via AUDIO JACK. No bluetooth 
Also, heat-wise, my EPSON was practically a heater and the use during the 2019 summer in Brussels with 40degC was hell. Currently, this PPM marvel is above my head, wrapped around my bed headboard with a gorrillapod. There are things to iron out with the software, but this thing is bea-utiful.
I’m grateful to all members of the Philips Team and moderators, it’s been a difficult year for you, but given the quality of the build, I’m happy to say I’d commit to another future IndieGoGo campaign, with my expectations tempered ;). Screeneo, I’d commit, just be fully sure about what you can achieve 
Thanks @IvoGrijt for your commitment to the forum. I’ll say this right now, “give the man a raise @Philips_Support_N, he’s helped you to no end. Make him the offer of a full-time contract”, because he really did put in the effort to communicate with us “spoilt brat” investors.
Copyright my idea, Screeneo @ me and I’ll propose you my full ideas but:-
PicoPix TeraMax (copyrighted by me) will be 4k resolution with AndroidTv and Google Play-App store thingy compatible? Hopefully not much bigger than the current 1080p current dimensions, but the user interface will be pretty good, based on the lessons learned from the PPM.
I joke, but thank you!
I’l be in the facebook group and other areas of the forum providing help if i can now i’m done with a ballache work deadline

I wanted to cross-post something I wrote on a Returned to Sender topic for all of those still waiting on an update on a shipping ticket or issue.
I would be lying if I said that to all of the 600+ tickets I have. As I am not on all of them yet, nor do I know if I have all I need from you or the forwarder. I’ll explain a bit more of my process regarding the specific cases of Shipment Returned To Sender in the EU, but the general approach is true for almost all types of tickets.
Each day (and night) I try to work on these cases, from two sides:
-
From the list of returned EU shipments I finally got from the forwarder last week. This requires me to find out if there’s a ticket from the backer already, to update the ticket and send a request to the backer to confirm what address to have it sent to this time around (even if still the same I need to know). So if you have such a ticket and let me know this in advance by replying to the last email you got back from the ticket system (don’t change the subject line!), then I can immediately add the new information to the re-shipment list, and only inform you via the ticket of this.
-
From the tickets where the backer tells me this has been reported on the tracking information or after contacting DHL. This requires me to look the backer up in the list of returned EU shipments I finally got from the forwarder last week, if the shipment is on it I have to update the ticket and send a request to the backer to confirm what address to have it sent to this time around (even if still the same I need to know). So if you have such a ticket and let me know this in advance by replying to the last email you got back from the ticket system (don’t change the subject line!), then I can immediately add the new information to the re-shipment list, and only inform you via the ticket of this.
If the shipment is not yet on the list of returned EU shipments, I have to put the information on another list which I can send to the forwarder to check the status of the shipments and either change the address, re-send the shipment, or have DHL release the shipment if on hold, or all of these steps.
Rest Of World shipments work similarly, but we don’t have a list of shipments returned to sender for the ROW shipments yet. So there I work mostly from the ticket side like in step 2 above.
I just don’t want to lie or just pacify you guys, or should I actually do that? Would me just “touching” the ticket with an update “Ticket is not forgotten or cast aside” work for you guys? This is an honest question, I don’t know.
In any case rest assured that I will not stop until all tickets are dealt with one way or another. I don’t close or delete tickets without reading them, and all tickets regarding the shipping and orders of this campaign I will deal with. It just takes a lot of time to do so for everyone due to many reasons:
-
I’m doing most of the work by myself when it comes to the shipping and orders tickets, no other agents trained or capable of doing it at the moment.
-
There are many duplicate, follow-up, or even spam-like tickets, making the backlog only unnecessarily bigger. This is mostly due to people not realizing that each new email creates a new ticket, and that they therefore should reply to the last email received from the ticket system instead of sending a totally new email (subject line). Some people not only send new mails, but also do so incessantly as (they feel) they weren’t responded in time, compounding the issue even further. Or they mail via Backerkit, Indiegogo support, forum PM, and support@screeneo.com or any combination of these.
-
People don’t include enough information in their ticket. Sometimes all I have is the email address they used to send the mail to support@screeneo.com, and at times that’s not the same email they used to back the campaign. Every time I have to go piece together the required information from Backerkit, Excel sheets, previous tickets (“I already wrote you guys 5 times about this!” but each ticket had part of the information), etc. it costs me valuable time. It’s okay if you don’t know your Backerkit ID for instance, but it helps me if you provide me with:
- your name or email you backed with if different from the one you’re mailing the support desk with
- your address postcode at least, the full address if you don’t mind
- the actual tracking code
- your IndieGoGo contribution ID
- your Backerkit ID
- if it’s a follow up request, the number of the previous ticket if known, or just replying to the last email received in the previous ticket submitted
- the steps you’ve already done to solve this issue you’re facing
- as detailed a description of your issue or request as possible
-
Checking tracking codes is time consuming, and I’ve had situations where the website would reject my requests after a while as I had done too many within a certain period of time.
-
I had to get better at handling the cases. The more I saw and handled, the better my system got. It’s not quite there yet, but I’m continually improving, by making macros, lookup lists, canned replies, anything to help me achieve more while doing less.
-
All this time, I’m also still getting requests, personal messages, mentions, posts in threads like these, remarks and questions on the Indiegogo campaign page, FB groups and Messenger, internal mail from colleagues or the forwarder, etc.
Some of you might think “I don’t care about all this, just fix my issue already!”. And trust me, I want to. But I don’t always have an answer, or the full cooperation of every party involved, or all the information needed. So I try to keep going through the backlog and just triage everything till I can operate on the cases, from the most urgent ones (aren’t they all by now) to the less urgent ones.
Anyways, this explanation also took me almost 20 minutes to put together. I hope it helps you all at least understand what I’m dealing with, and hopefully will help you to have just a bit more patience with this as well.

Hi philipsNono,
Before nine months when i filled out details on backerkit, that was the same number with 7 digit 7545440
You can see also on the message before two months, that the zip code was the same 7 digit
,
you need to find the real reason why i didn’t get the goods,So you won’t make the same mistake again for the fourth time.
What i should except now?, i will get another tracking from backerkit
When i will get the projector?
Please do anything that in your power that this time i will get the projector soon.
Regards,
yaniv

Hi
Indiegogo contribution ID 5577
I received an email on May 30 with the DHL tracking ID but until this date DHL has no information for the number. Please I need to know where my projector is and when is going to arrive
Hi Darren, please send an email to support@screeneo.com with subject line
PPX Not Tracking
and include as much detail as you can in the message. I’ll pick up your ticket and look into it for you.
@IvoGrijt @Philips_Support_N @Philips_Support_N it has been 16 to 17 days now that I have received the fake tracking of your and still not movement can yous explain what is the next lie you have got please. And that is what happened in the past months.
I really hope you will make some excuses when you will see the same tracking number moving.
This is not a fake one, we explained many times that the tracking number can only be tracked when the device is scanned by DHL in Germany, after it went for custom cleareance in Belgium.
When we ship the device from HK, Nor Philips, nor Screeneo can do anything, DHL is taking over from there and any delay is caused by them.
We are always pushing them. The tracking number you have is the good one.
Thanks

You should have checked before write your post I can clearly see in posts people are waiting since May and here is mine and if it is not fake where did you get those tracking if the DHL not received the PPM I never hard in my life that you can get tracking without posting item plus never hard that tracking takes months before it get active. And still you are saying it is not fake
unfortunately its not a fake.
But I will explain again how it works.
1: shipment from CHina to DHLL warehouse: DHL Germany gives us a Tracking number that is not active yet
2: DHL ship a container to Belgium (1 week)
3: Custom cleareance: 1 week at least: this depends on the customs
4: Ship from Belgium to Germany : 2-3 days
5: DHL warehouse pick the product and scan it: this is where sometimes it takes a long time: 1 to 2 weeks. This is where they scan the device and you can start to track the device
6: DHL ship to you via your local partner could be DHL or another one
7: the local partner is taking over and this take some times as well
We are not at all involved here. We are not a shipping company so the delay varies.

@Philips_Support_N what about those of us who are waiting for a month and a half for any update? My delivery was part of Betty list, it is showing as scanned in Germany since June 2nd, I have sent some emails following @IvoGrijt ‘s instructions and posted some questions in the forum. All I got was an acknowledgment of having created a ticket some weeks ago. Nothing since then. Can you, please, provide some guidance? I understand that this takes time but a month and a half with no progress and zero information is frustrating. Thanks!
