General info about shipment and manufacturing

Thank you. so with the 700 READIED package, the AUS/NZ will be included.
Fantastic!

Today, our second factory packaged 250 units over the 700 unboxed ones. We are waiting for the QC
On the first factory side, their process is a bit different, they are making now 1,100 units but step by step. 1,100 PCBA, bottom casing and autofocus have been assembled.

These updates are great! Thanks @Philips_Support_N. It brings the whole process that much closer and is essentially what crowdfunding is all about: being part of the process :smiley:

@Philips_Support_N Thanks for these great updates :). Do you know roughly when the forgotten EU batch will be sent out? Is it likely to be this week? Many thanks once again for all your hard work during this difficult time.

  1. Then the forgotten backers (ID below 4000) (unknown)

how can you not know how many people below 4000 have not received their devices? What century are you posting these stuff from that you dont even have a system that records whats sent whats not?

Backer ID 3898 from UK, will I get forgotten and continue being part of the unknown number of people still waiting? 6 months over the estimated delivery date given to us in August 2019 and you guys still couldnā€™t get your stuff together to give straight answers

Relax Jan, the number is unknown because I dont work for them, I only made this post to ask those in charge.

They have updated me with the number here at this post, that is around 100 (forgotten batch + Replacement batch) . Iā€™m not sure about the UK batch if.it is part of the EU batch, but you can have a look at this forumā€™s other topics and find out.

The thread for forgotten EU batch numbers has recorded nearly 100 forgotten backers and those are only the ones that have commented so I assume theres a fair few more than 100 including the replacement units. But even so, these should all be included in the next batch as it sounds like they are now on track with productions :). Iā€™m backer 3333 and was also forgotten from the UK (EU batch).

love the updates @Philips_Support_N! Keep them coming. This makes the wait more bearable.
Currently not even on the next list. #14xxx India.

The first paragraph in the note on top of each page is outdated and can be removed. When the factories may open is no longer of interest - now that they are open.

because we all have different questions. and I would like to ask them questions of my own, thatā€™s what this forum is about.
you can tell if someone works.for.pholips or not by looking at their icon, if it has the Philip logo, then they work for Philip. hope that helps

This is great. My contribution id 19xx from India. Do i fall under all forgotten backers below 4000?

No, that only refers to the EU contributors that is also below 4000

Thatā€™s too bad.

Love those updates from Philips! I hope things will be smooth now. Hey @Philips_Support_N tell the guys to use more glue :rofl: :rofl: . You know what engineers say ā€œWhat canā€™t be fixed with duct tape, can be fixed with more duct tape!ā€ :rofl:

@Philips_Support_N Brilloant update and glad to see more workers coming in. Is there any eta in the first shipment for forgotten backers?

So a total of 500 packaged so far?

Any date set on when they will be shipped?

Could you also please clarify how these batches will be sent out.
Will the replacement units be sent out in batches of 500 by 500 too? And which batch will the forgotten backers be in? The first or the second?

not yet.
We should invite 10 backers to go to Shenzhen and assemble their own product :slight_smile:

Is this on top of the 700 pieces that needed to be packaged so 1150 total?

What are the next steps for these pieces? Ex QC, packaging, shipping?. We know you cant give timelines because factory isnā€™t at capacity but would be great to hear steps remaining before shipment.

Lastly hope everyone at the factories stay safe and stay home if they are feeling sick. Would like my projector but not at the expense of someoneā€™s health :slightly_smiling_face:

and will the previously produced 700 will be revised not to have the autofocus problem again?
I would be extremely annoyed if the replacement of my faulty unit comes with the same problem, or if the second that iā€™ve ordered (one of the ā€œEu forgotten onesā€) has the same issueā€¦
