Project Update #27: The Storm For backers only, Posted by cw&t Hi backers!
First, for those of you still waiting for your pen(s), we're still on schedule. The schedule was posted a few updates ago (update #22). The 3 remaining batches are shipped from our manufacturer in China on July 7th (480 pens) July 23rd (480) August 7th (494)
In the last couple months, we fought hard to speed up production. We advanced more money and were promised ship dates by our manufacturer and none were met. In their eyes, delays were caused by us because we were so picky about the details, but the truth is we weren't asking for anything out of the ordinary. All we asked for was for them to follow the specifications in our drawings they agreed to on day one. They weren't able to meet the specifications, so they blamed production delays on little changes made during production to help make the pen more manufacturable.
