Well at least that Facebook audio thread provided some nice photos of the finished units. They do look awesome in red. And it proves some have actually been posted :wink:

Photos nicked from that thread to bring something other than moaning to this place :wink:

I'm backer #92 for the Red version and have not received any email from them since I answered their survey. Their lack of transparency has made me really disappointed and upset. Specially now that non backers have already bought from local sellers and already received their units. Makes my blood boil and say What Hidizs!

+1 for another USA'er ordering the red that has not received an email update. I'm beginning to think I'm never going to see this thing...

Keep in mind those aren't from KS backers. They bought it locally.

Such a shame though that the red ones are having a shortage in production, due to the aforementioned QC issue. I do agree that it looks great in red (red being my favorite color, too). The silicone case looks a bit weird, though. It looks like it's a bit ill-fitting. Here's hoping that by the time my reward is about to be shipped, they have enough red units to be delivered.

So they told some backers who ordered Red color to change their AP80 to Black or Grey but they have Red ones to supply their dealers. This is totally BS.
Most people suspect that the red ones have gone to the retailers first, so there's a shortage of said red units, in which according to Hidizs themselves is because of a quality control issue. I'm leaning towards the former (red ones have been supplied to retailers first).

Just playing devils advicate here... but it could be these dealers purchased over kickstarter as well. As they are in the shipping zone that got sent to first.

I could be horribly wrong though. Im used to 6 month + delays with Kickstarter so as long as it's here before christmas in the UK when the in-laws get here for christmas then I'm all good :wink:

Well, that's a possibility, too, but there are from that shipping zone (Singapore, Philippines, even HK, etc) reported that they haven't received theirs, from what I've read on the KS comments so far. Well, if that's really a possibility, then it looks like Hidizs might've prioritized backers who ordered in bulk.

I keep getting emails from Hidizs thinking it might be related to shipping but hell no





I think I’m going to rename them ‘Hide’eze.
Received that same email too. So far, almost all recent emails from Hidizs that I receive are just promotional crap.

Seems like a more people got theirs on Kickstarter, don’t know where they’re from or what carrier delivered it, but no tracking #.

Guess I’m going to have to call the carrier to see if express shipping was used when it comes. I’m sure not giving these clowns extra

Money for nothing :)

Yeah, more and more people there seem to be getting their AP80s. They seem to be mostly from the US. It's just strange that they're delivered to them without a prior tracking number, which is kinda worrisome. One backer reported that he received a tracking number 5 days prior to the delivery, though.

People said they’re coming via amazon, very weird. I doubt they sent mine express if at all. All my queries to them are unanswered. With all the competition, you’d think these smaller companies would really be on the ball to try to grow.

Guess not

If people are receiving them via Amazon I would say they have definitely worked out some details. I hope mine comes via Amazon up here. Tracking info and delivery details, as well as accountability, are higher and easier to come by than through the regular post.... Just a thought...
