Hook

Since you have used the phrase about Eric being honest a couple of times, I'd just like to say that I don't think Eric has *ever* been dishonest. I think information he has given at one point in time has turned out to be not how things ended up, but I don't think that makes him a liar. I do think it's great that he is communicating more frequently. 🙂

Assuming you are US, I am also assuming since mine cleared customs last night, yours will/did too. My Pro 1 is at my local facility and will be delivered this afternoon.

@EskeRahn Beautiful picture. I'm so sorry, Such a gorgeous dog.

I'm surprised they don't link up with USPS. Both Fedex and UPS have that option-- it may be the shipper has to know to ask for that. With that option, the major courior takes it to the closest warehouse location they service and then hand it off to the USPS who treats it like Priority Mail.

You should get a "stock Assigned" email before it ships. They are shipping in small weekly batches.

I'm in the US and mine is coming by FedEx. Delivery should be tomorrow EOD.

If you mean Facebook, I'm not sure you'll get a real answer there either. Pretty much, you need to do the support email if you want to be assured of getting a timely and relevant answer.

That's not a question anyone here can really answer. We only have guesses. The only way to get an answer to that is to send a support email to info@fxtec.com.

Thanks. I stand corrected. My point was more about how complicated the law is state to state on what qualifies as taxable over the internet. How many Pro 1s are going to be delivered to VA? Is F(X) Tec sales in any state going to meet the Nexus qualifications. I dunno. Of course, none of this changes anything you have said about tariffs and transparency.

Is that a Yank sitting next to someone from the EU? 😂

I'll report on this next week when I have my Pro 1. 🙂

I'm not any kind of tax expert, but I find nothing in my searches that suggests that individuals are in any way on the hook for sales taxes not collected by the merchant, and there is clearly no enforcement mechanism for that. If anyone has factual information to the contrary, please do lay it out. If anything, F(x) Tech will be in trouble if they are required to pay sales tax, but that's a big if and if anyone can figure out the complicated Nexus laws here, it's beyond my pay grade. lol. So, no, I won't be paying any sales tax, I just hope F(x) Tec aren't making a bigger legal mess f

I will be one of those refusing the refund. 😉

Indeed! Thank you @Erik

Erik said "today." He hasn't posted his update yet. Hopefully he will find the time, but hasn't yet.

Of course. 🙂

Well, if the third batch is shipping this week, there are only 7 weeks and that's the third week in January, Sure, more things can happen, but Eric is hoping not, as are we all. I think the thing that is more important than how many weeks is simply that they continue to ship weekly batches and show regular progress.

That was when they were CDMA only, pre-LTE. I'm finally getting my Pro 1 this coming Tuesday and Verizon compatibility will be one of the first things I test.

It would only be available for Prime if Amazoncould have sufficient stock on hand in their own warehouses. I don't see that as being likely, though good for F(X) Tec if they got there. I don't know anything about Canadian import duties so I can't address that. In US I just paid sales tax when I paid for it at the end of July.

Got my tracking number as well! Everything the same as zurvan2.

So it is a modified version of Launcher 3 (guessing from apk name)? That's part of AOSP, isn't it? So the real question is how closed source are their mods?

I do not think F(x) Tec is lying to me. I have my "stock assigned" email #2. Maybe I will get a tracking number in a week and believe that is their intention, but I will not feel lied to if I don't see that tracking number before Jan 2020. I believe they are a very small, new company with too much optimism and not enough experience or influence on the third parties they depend on. Could their communication be better about those facts. Theoretically-- but pragmatically, when you are knee deep in a project not going as you envisioned, my observation is that good communication is first to

You forgot the "Hell no" option. 😉

That's what I'm hoping. I may have received the email first because I already had stock assigned. It could be the second batchers' email is coming soon. I hope so.

I just received my new "stock assigned" email this morning. It explicitly says it is headed from the factory to the fulfillment warehouse and then customs. I'm first batch US., so this is my second stock assigned email-- the first one resulted in US Customs sending it back to HK. I'm wondering if this is the first batch coming back with the right paperwork or if this is part of the second batch. Obviously, I'm excited in either case, but I'm hoping the latter because it means a lot of folks will be getting theirs soon.
