Change of plans. 2020

Sofian · January 30, 2019, 3:32pm

They produced hundreds of 8ks since last week but decided to give priority to pre orders it seems.

Wmacky · January 30, 2019, 3:37pm

OK, I’m now in the shipped column. Does this mean that UPS has possession now?

Are you U.S. guys still getting tracking numbers from the logistics company even if late? (Not just UPS Choice)

I know someone 55xx who just got a shipping notification the other day, and I’m in the same predicament as you. Here’s hoping everything goes well.

Mpmo10 · January 30, 2019, 3:51pm

No idea…maybe @anon74848233 can answer lol

Thanks @Sofian & @mojojojo
I didnt see that last update.
Ok so they have recently started on the 8k production again which is good.
Did we get an explanation as to why the 8k production started later leading to them not being complete in time.

In this update:

The next shipment for Pimax

Dear all,

Thank you for your patience in waiting and support for the Pimax team.

We are happy to say that until 17thJanuary, we have already produced 6,314 units, which account for 80% of the 8,000 units as planned before the Spring Festival (5th. Feb). We are confident that we will be able to accomplish that goal in the next week.

Due to the relatively late arrival of the panels for 8K headsets, we have focused more on the production of the 5K headsets, and until now we already have 1000 more units of 5K headsets produced than those pledged during the Kickstarter campaign. From last week, we started to take the production of the 8K headsets as our priority. It is expected that the production of the 8K headsets should be completed before the 27thJanuary.

We would also like to share with you the latest status of shipping:

Pimax 5K Plus

The delivery information of 2880 units has been confirmed by our backers, and we have already shipped 3259 units to overseas warehouse until 18thJanuary.

Until now we already have sufficient units for our backers in the warehouses in the U.K., the U.S. and Hong Kong with hundreds of surplus units for other requirement.

Pimax 8K

The delivery information of 1550 units has been confirmed by our backers, and we have already shipped 427 units to overseas warehouses.

Until 18thJanuary, we have a shortage of 1083 units, with only 40 units surplus in Hongkong warehouse and no stock in the U.K. and the U.S.

1,111 units are already in production and they are expected to be shipped before the 29thJanuary.

Since there is a sufficient supply of the 5K Plus headsets, if any 8K backers choose to switch to 5K Plus, we can ship it immediately. And meanwhile, 5K BE has passed the internal quality verification process, and we have just started to collect the number of those who would like to switch to 5K BE. If there are any backers who would like to change their choices, we will also give priority to the production of 5K BE. Please contact us if you would like to switch to the BE version.

Matthew told us they should be complete before 27th & sent out by the 29th.

If there is a good reason why that hasn’t happened then I am fine with that.

You’re expecting too much, but I’d go with @Sofian 's explaination.
Instead you could try to find out what the sound of one hand clapping is.

dogbite · January 30, 2019, 4:14pm

I suppose we will have to see what they post after this clock runs out

SlickRick · January 30, 2019, 4:18pm

Yes that nice isn’t it. The pre-order website says that the first batch of preordre will be shipped in 15hours!! Thats so nice!

Lars1C · January 30, 2019, 4:18pm

Hi,

No, I’ve checked against 2019-01-24version, while thinking about mylast post:

In the former spreadsheet from 2019-01-24 were no “5K BE” backer in the build section listed.
As @anon74848233 stated, he will update at the next time.

At the aktual spreadsheet from 2019-01-29 there are 45backer numbers in the building tab.

Well, not a progress in delivery, but in the spreasdheet.

Cynicism_FTW · January 30, 2019, 5:07pm

Can you link the preorder site with the countdown?

mojojojo · January 30, 2019, 5:11pm

He’s talking about the counter in the Pimax store.

But pre orders have received information that Pimax starts shipping on the 25th already.

dogbite · January 30, 2019, 5:11pm

Link is in my post above his post

Cynicism_FTW · January 30, 2019, 5:40pm

Thanks. When I first clicked it it just took me to their homepage but its working now.

Lars1C · January 30, 2019, 6:17pm

hi @anon74848233
can you please say about status of the “5K BE” most of them are still in the building tab.
Is the delivery estimated before chinese new year?

peteo · January 30, 2019, 6:17pm

It also says order today , Ship by 21st Feb

r00x · January 30, 2019, 6:58pm

I’m not sure I’m understanding the spreadsheet any more. I thought lots of 8K were being built recently but it seems my 8K headset has been in the “build” column for I think 11+ days now (whenever the first spreadsheet came out that had a “building” column, I feel like it was the 18th maybe?).

I can’t find the old spreadsheet to compare; have a lot of the 8K HMDs with lower backer numbers moved on from the “building” tab now or has that tab not been updated at all?

Cynicism_FTW · January 30, 2019, 7:20pm

The best I can gather from all the broken english is they are rushing to manufacture and ship all headsets before CNY and building could mean in the factory to on a boat.

lefufu · January 30, 2019, 7:28pm

Maybe it has been asked above, but how long does it take to go to UK oversea warehouse ?

dustyearlobe · January 30, 2019, 7:32pm

That all depends ,if you live in uk then about 6 weeks if they don’t decide to send them to someone else or if you have 8k coming 1 year 3 month and counting.
but if you live in the EU 2 week via uk
