Shipping from Taiwan at the end of July does not sound like they are "on track" for a July 24th delivery. My guess is we won't have the product until mid August. Yikes.
cwooYeah thought the same exact thing. That's completely off-track as they were supposed to ship to us by the 24th next month. Pretty disappointed. I guess I should've saw it coming though.
snacks4allIf you were looking for a keyboard to use tomorrow you should have gone to bestbuy not bought something on mass drop. Especially such a unique product as this keyboard. You have to wait for the finer things in life.
ChaymeeYou've interpreted his comment completely wrong. The problem isn't the waiting, but rather the fact that they said it was to ship on the 24th and now that isn't happening. Everyone who purchased this keyboard knew beforehand that the shipping time was lengthy, but it is a consumer's right to voice their complaints if the delivery of their product is delayed. The market revolves around consumers and sub-par companies are rooted out eventually. Massdrop is great, but there's always room for improvement.
Jimstah87Did you even read anything I even wrote? I'm not complaining about the ship date, I knew I would be waiting months for this product. I'm stating that consumers have a right to voice complaints when the delivery of their product is delayed, in this case, from July 24th to the end of July. As dudeskis said previously, the distaste is for the delivery of this information in a positive tone, when in reality, as you know, it isn't the best of news. Please thoroughly read my comment as well as others to understand what we're talking about before responding.
GreenleafyI'm sure there is a good reason for the delay and that they're not just doing it to annoy you. Maybe there have been complications that were out of scope of their control? Who knows, though if you were prepared initially to wait this long why does one more week bother you so much?
Jimstah87It doesn't bother me. You've failed again to understand what I was saying. I'm simply trying to express my belief that consumers have the right to voice their complaints if any aspect of what was advertised isn't fully met. This was in response to another user essentially justifying service that wasn't as advertised. The point of this is to say that there is always room for improvement for companies and excusing them for mistakes exempts them from making these improvements. Even if there were "complications" as you said, wouldn't it be nice if they had said something like, "Although we had initially expected a ship date of July 24th, this date has been revised to July 30th, due to unexpected circumstances" instead of "We're right on track!"???? Like I said before, Massdrop is doing well but there's always room for improvement. If Ducky isn't producing them as fast as they thought, fine, but Massdrop can take that extra step and communicate more to the consumers. I don't know how I can put it any clearer.
GreenleafyYou couldn't have it any more clear, I understood you a few pages back. I made this same point in another thread and got a bunch of negative feedback as well. MD does a really good job, I wouldn't be here purchasing and contributing if I thought otherwise. That being said I see room for improvement exactly in the areas you've mentioned.
