What’s pushing the Pint orders back?
-
@Mark-Vlogs mine pushed to July 24 too. Cancellation email going soon. Beyond disappointing. 120+ days from order placement. That’s mental.
-
Tesla has faster order fulfilment and it’s an entire vehicle.

@Rocketeer said in What’s pushing the Pint orders back?:
@Panglossian Yeah, me too. Ordered March 12 and just went from being in production to ship Friday to in Queue shipping July 3. How the fuck does that happen One Wheel?
yeah, i ordered mine March 12 and now it's slipped to July 4, sigh.
-
My response to the BS email:
“It’s not a couple more weeks; it’s 8 more weeks for my order. Which means, here in Canada summer will be half over and riding conditions ending within a couple months and onewheel closeted until next spring.
Honestly, you need to stop with the fun times and buckle down. All hands on deck should be the only motto right now, get shit done and orders fulfilled. You can’t accept people’s money for orders and sit on it for months without delivering a product.”
I suggest everyone do the same, voice your displeasure.
-
and there's this, too. i have to admit it makes me deeply feel like i'm being taken advantage of when they say "oh, straight up, we're sorry, they are going to be late, we're working so hard on them..." and then they show 6 more minutes of them goofing around and riding them...
-
@Franko I know, right! I just posted on their Instagram that I wish that they'd be in working on the Pint not playing on the docks!
-
@Franko exactly! And while I appreciate that they have a business to run (ie. marketing and sales) they really should be doing whatever is humanly possible to get orders filled. The build time on a board isn’t particularly long given the very few parts, and most companies would have supply chain in place before announcing something like this.
-
@cchevy I responded that they need to hire some old guys that know how to build shit, since they evidently don't. Also suggested that they move out of California to save overhead...
-
Shipping now starting in July according to the website, so not an extra 2 weeks. Appalling
-
PLOT TWIST!
i received a notice from USPS this morning, with a tracking number, showing that something left Future Motion for me yesterday, and will be delivered some time tomorrow (saturday). This is in line with the last expected delivery date i was being shown before they put out the big delay announcement the other day. The FM website is still showing a new tentative shipping date of July 4th for me, so i just don't know what to believe. but suddenly hope springs anew!
-
@Franko I think they ship with FedEx for the boards. USPS would probably be something small/lighter. It's probably a certified letter saying that they're having production issues and please don't sue them for non-delivery. Here's to hoping though! I can't figure out why they would change our dates then jerk us around and send them.
-
@Panglossian yeah, the USPS delivery is confusing -- i would assume FedEx too. i wish i had more info (like size/weight), but there's nothing i can find. i already have a hat and the other swag they sent, so i'm sure it's not that. part of me is wondering/hoping it is the Pint, since i bought the limited edition sage/social club model... maybe they are getting those out first? at any rate, i will keep everyone posted, for sure.

Maybe an accessory?

hmm, could be, but that would be salt in the wound in a way, wouldn't it? haha. "here's your bumper/rail guard/fender, hope you like looking at it for the next month or so!"
-
@Franko best of luck. Process has been a bit frustrating.
This is my first crowdfunding effort and i didnt even know i was crowdfunding!!!!
-
@Franko I really hope it’s the Pint, please keep us updated.
-
@Mark-Vlogs definitely will do. it looks like there's a person on OW reddit that has a package coming, too, which is interesting...

-
@Franko I also got a notification. It will be something small and light. It won’t be the pint.
Probably a “sorry for this taking so long” thing, or best case an accessory but I doubt it. My money is on a Pint sticker. Will know for sure in a couple hours when my mail arrives.
-
I was partially wrong. I did get A Pint, just not THE Pint I have been waiting for.
-
@rageouse haha, just got mine, too. came here to update and post my photo as well. my friend said, "WOW, it's a LOT smaller than i thought..." haha : |
