General info about shipment and manufacturing

Wayne,

The issue is that we are currently showing 1087 backers as unfulfilled in Backerkit. We however know that this number is not correct, as we have already allocated and sent most units to the forwarder for shipment, so it should be a lot less. The problem stems from the fact that to Backerkit the pledge is only marked as fulfilled once we upload the tracking information from the forwarder. Since we did not have much movement in regards of tracking numbers coming back to us (I believe some people listed still haven’t got tracking numbers) the Backerkit information is lagging behind reality. We are waiting until we have all the tracking info and have uploaded it to see who is truly still missing an allocation and need to be on the latest list.
We don’t want to publish a list thinking and saying “This was the last one, we’re done!” only to find some people were still left out. That’s why we are being diligent to a fault in this case.

So regardless of when this list is published, know that everyone will get their unit if logistically possible. Even the difficult routes like Brazil and Russia we’ve managed to find solution for and have shipments underway to the backers there.

So please bear with us that much longer. By the end of the week (on the 14th) if the actual list isn’t finished yet I’ll publish a list of my own with everyone we think should be on it, and you can then check to make sure you’re on that one at least if that makes you feel more at ease.
