So the estimated time before shipment is December 24th, that means that they estimate that they should have all shipments out by the 24th. I understand that you all want it as early as possible, however MD is still within reason of their projected shipping date. This is something you should always be aware of
Dark3nedThere are a couple problems with that excuse. First, when Massdrop is OVER the estimated shipping date (which is pretty much the case with every drop), the answer is "it's just an estimate". Considering how long ago the mics got to the warehouse, the estimated shipping date is irrelevant.
Second, I think what most people are annoyed about is the seemingly random order of shipments. There is probably an expectation that orders placed earlier will get shipping priority over newer orders. My guess is that this doesn't happen because the orders are split up between lots of people, and each person has a section of them. So they're doing whatever stack of shipping labels they got, but that stack could be 1-50, or 800-850, so order #1 and order #800 go out at the same time.
Third, lack of communication. "Z will definitely happen, expect to hear from us by X.", followed by... Z not happening, and X passing with no response.
Dark3nedThat's true. However, HassanS posted on Friday saying that everything would be shipped out at the latest by Saturday. Meanwhile it's Monday now and there are at least a few people who haven't received tracking info.
tupnHe said they should, and yeah it seems that MD is handling this drop unfavourably, at least their distribution/logistics team is. Seems like that might be a side effect of the massive drop with the K7XX and all of the issues they had with shipping and the dock workers.
Maybe they should evaluate their distribution team in NJ, but I really can't say much because they haven't been quite as transparent with this drop as much as they have with the K7XX drop.
