I mean if I order something that has a long waiting time I am prepared to wait a long time for it. Even if it delays I can cope with it. But man we’re about 63% over the estimated waiting time and the only update we had thus far was that the November orders should begin to ship by the end of February. Now it’s the end of march and no new update or anything while the current estimated lead time is still at 16 weeks while people are waiting for 19 weeks plus.I think most people share in the frustration as you do... could this be handled differently ??? sure there are other ways... there was one project that I bought into years ago that was limited in shipments and the way he did it was to put on his web site a count down.. you got assigned an order number that put you in line and then if you wondered where you where in the que you could log onto the site and see what order number was being shipped that week... and so you could pretty much tell where you stood in line.... the problem here is there are at least two different order sites... mimic and modhouse... so no one actually knows where they stand... and there aren't that many people here reporting that they got theirs yet.... so it is slightly confusing at best.. a update had been sent out a while back but nothing recent... dead crickets and all of that
My frustration isn’t from the waiting time, it’s from the false statement of the leadtime.
Just tell people to wait 20-25 weeks and buyers will have be happy to receive them earlier or are well within their waiting time.
But telling them to wait for 12 weeks and new buyers 16 weeks while the more realistic time is 20-25 weeks is kinda meh.
Especially considering people pay 2k for those headphones.
(TLDR yes I understand that Ryan is a single man army that builds them by himself and he is overwhelmed by orders, my problem is that the estimated lead time he advertises is way off the real waiting time)
