This kickstarter project has been anything but smooth sailing. Backers were initially contacted with a survey to provide a delivery address, which I completed on the same day. Following that I must’ve received 3 or 4 emails addressed to everyone with various issues around collecting the addresses. Firstly they were unable to work with any of the private relay Apple email addresses. Then it was a lack of responses. Then it was a Google sheet with backers that had issues with their addresses. I’d provided my work address, which I use for worldwide shipping all the time so didn’t even bother to check the sheet. Turns out I was on it, oops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just recently we’ve all received another email that’s quite hard to understand the purpose of, but from what I can gather they’re asking everyone to send their delivery addresses over again. Which I did, for some reason I’m still on the “wrong address” list, and I’ve not been able to get to the bottom of the reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expecting this constant attention from thousands of backers is very optimistic of Unihertz, and I’m assuming these emails will be buried in a sea of spam in most of the backers inboxes. I do wonder, and I hope this is just the cynic in me, if Unihertz are hoping to be able to cancel a portion of these orders claiming a lack of response as the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest I think they’re struggling to meet the production date they gave. On 18\/09\/25 backers received an email with an update, with the below photo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All looks good, but if they were expecting to ship in October I would’ve expected these to be in boxes and Unihertz getting their export documentation together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these delays in production, and Unihertz clearly (from the amount of emails regarding delivery addresses) struggling with logistics I will be surprised if I receive the phone before December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully I’m in no rush for the device, and it’ll get here when it gets here. Watch this space for updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
