Any estimate you’d get would be off the moment it’s written down Hans-Goran.
There are variations (possibly speeding things up but mostly delays) in:
Manufacturing, due to light engine component supply and lead time
Quality Control checks fails could lead to extra reworking
shipments getting put on actual flights out of Hong Kong
local delivery companies being backlogged and possibly understaffed
other unforeseen circumstances
None of the previous batch shipments had to deal with all of the above, for instance the very first few didn’t have Corona outbreak and lockdowns to contend with. So no results from the past can be used to give you a good estimate, and even if you say ballpark, it could still be a rain-delayed game.
I would suggest you to keep an eye on the summary thread so you can bookmark that and gather your daily digest from it, you can always click on the quotes in that topic to jump right into the actual thread where it was actually posted.
That will allow you to better make the guesstimates you want for yourself.
Hi, based on the current (disappointing compared to initial target) fabrication rate, around 6 weeks for production and 2 weeks for delivery so you should target around mid June at the earliest.
@Philips_Support_N I believe there are a few 1000 backers waiting in the Netherlands, will these be sent as a single batch to save costs or based on backer id. When can we expect to be seeing a batch sent to the Netherlands?
@Philips_Support_N: I have received a tracking number on my backerkit account, but the DHL webpages (both German and international) gives me an error, saying: “Sorry, your tracking attempt was not successful. Please check you tracking number”.
Could you give me a functional tracking number, please? My backertkit ID is 15588682 (as shown when hovering over “View order”.
This is my first post, so I cannot PM you at the moment.
It’s been six days, that’s why I was starting to wonder.
With the previous examples I have seen, the tracking number actually works, although with no updates for some time. With the example of another user above, when he got the same response from DHL website, he was asked by PhilipsNono to PM him to sort out the tracking number. That is why I tried this as well.
Ivo, just saying, got my tracking number 10 of April. 11 days after it is still not active, I still don’t have the product, I still don’t have an estimate of the arrival date.
This is because your invididual shipment hasn’t been sent from the DHL warehouse in Germany yet. PhilipsNono posted in another thread (here) that the shipment with all projectors is in customs at the moment. Progress is slow because DHL is prioritising medical shipments, the current estimate was that it would be cleared next Tuesday.
woowwwww… I’m in the last list!!! Backerkit 15585796 IGG 14060 October 3 2019
Is this possible??? Have I find the correct Backerkit #???
Can’t wait for it… But I know… it will be in my hand not before the end (or close the…) of May…
What does @Philips_Support_N said about this lot?? Waiting for packaging ???
Infact!!.. It’s strange to me toooooo… But… Some people have request for refound before the end of the companion, some other after… Some are ordered more than 2 PPMax… Well… Could be that my Bekerkit # is wrong… I don’t know… Or… Well can #IvoG check for me? I check it too…
I ordered right at the end of the campaign so I’m 21***. Let’s hope that there were a lot of people who cancelled there campaign between October and March which would inflate the backer number
