are they still taking preorders?

 

[qusp]

yes, very odd that mine hasnt arrived yet, shipped via USPS 'express' last weekend. any explanation for this Justin? I have never had anything using this service take anywhere near this long and of course the tracking still says the same thing as when it was picked up

 

[ayz]

also just wondering, can the pico slim work off USB power or does it have to use the batteries?

 

[gsawdy]

It would seem that Justin has run into some sort of problem.  Obviously assembly/shipping is not anyways near what he promised.  One would think he would be more forthcoming with folks who have already been so patient.
 
I must admit to being discouraged and disgruntled by this treatment.

Don't worry, Justin ALWAYS delivers. It's just a matter of when, but it'll get there.

USPS tracking is crap, it NEVER tracks correctly. When my pico amp/dac reached my home in Singapore-the status never ever changed at all.

When I spoke with the USPS they say that they have these bar code guns that they use to track packages but that the data is only downloaded from them after their work hours so don't expect accurate tracking like UPS or Fedex (bad examples I know

It's why they sell their service as Delivery Confirmation (even though on their website the button is marked track&confirm)....it's pretty much only good to let you know that it's delivered. Sometimes that happens after you've already been using the item for a few days, but at least it lets you know it's been delivered...right?

I have had several USPS parcels that still don't show (and never have) that they have even been picked up (TWag from Craig is one) despite me having received them months ago. Worst tracking ever (not worst company, that honour repeatedly goes to FedEx)

It is battery powered.  But it can be charged via USB and used at the same time.

indeed, but thats not my problem, that i'm used to as I deal with it for supplies shipping all the time, no what I dont get is USPS express should have really been here before the weekend and now its tuesday the next week, and regular airmail packages that shipped at the same time have arrived already. I just wonder if they actually went out on or near the day we received shipping notices, because I know we get the email as a result of the label being printed out, but it really has little to do whether its been shipped and because the tracking is so crap, it only says it was due to be picked up whether it has or not is uncertain at the time. i wonder when it left the building so to speak. i'm not talking of deception, just the brand of timewarp that seems to exist over there....
