I'm prety sure Fxtec is lean enough to survive it but if some of the suppliers and parterns are going bust it could geopardize that product. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bloodhoundje 78 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Not sure if this is the right topic to post this in. I am selling a Pro1 (QWERTY). Not looking on making a profit on it so I am selling it for the pre-order price of 667€ it came for. I am residing in the Netherlands and willing to ship it within the EU. If you are interested drop me a PM and I am sure we can work something out! 🙂 [edit] And sold! [/edit] Edited March 1, 2020 by Bloodhoundje Phone sold. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anonim001 105 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I really don't know where to write this, and since there were soooo many topics touched in this thread I have decided to do that here. Actually it may not be that much of an off-topic, since it concerns the delivery in some way... So as some of You probably know I had an issue with hall sensor in my phone and on 21. February I have finally managed to send it back to London. The day before I have sent the package I wrote an e-mail to the usual support address (replying to the last message from January) with a photo of the package label and short info when the device will be sent. After noticing the "package delivered" (27. February) status on the tracking page I have wrote an e-mail kindly asking for a confirmation that they have successfully received it and a short update on the repair status. Unfortunately until today I did not get any information back. I know it's been only a few days, but not hearing anything back is bothering me a bit. Does anyone know if the support helpdesk still works? @Waxberry, @Erik maybe You could help me out? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elvissteinjr 359 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I wouldn't worry too much about it. Support generally doesn't respond on weekends and in my experience, Fridays aren't the most responsive days either. For what it's worth, I've also sent my phone their way and had them have a tracking link Wednesday evening. No further response to that as well. Not worried myself, but you're not alone with this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly not a concern, I have had been in great communication with them, as I am waiting on a replacement part, they responded with in 2 business days, sometimes a 3rd, pending on the timing with other production related things happening. I have been very happy with their communication and responses. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With the customs stuff I've racked up 10+ responses from them and I'm fairly certain on the weekend part at the very least. Regarding reaction I'm not expecting them to have my device, but just acknowledge that they've noted I sent it to them (just like they asked me to tell them when I do that) as well as answer questions that came along with that. I'm not trying to rush them here, but just wanted to give a frame of reference to anonim. Edited March 1, 2020 by elvissteinjr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgios 0 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I requested a cancellation and refund of my order, after a week of ordering the phone. My refund request was on February 13th, and after confirming twice that I do want to proceed with the cancellation of my order, I was notified that my request is with a person authorized to issue a refund, typically a director. Almost two weeks have passed since then (instead of a week that was the time-frame given to me that my request would be processed) and everyone remains silent and unresponsive in customer service. By the way, this does not even follow the "terms of sale" which outline that the time limit for a refund is two weeks after we notify them of our decision to cancel. If they continue to remain silent and uresponsive, I will have to report the transaction to the bank and seek my refund this way. What a shame! Refunds are just a couple of clicks away... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's wild how different the experiences with their customer service are. Due to financial issues I had to cancel my order and ask for a refund yesterday (really not an easy decision) and just 9hrs later I got an answer and an email confirming my refund. After reading what other customers had to deal with I was expecting the worst but it seems I got extremely lucky... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SchattengestaIt 559 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 It worked fine before the Corona virus spreaded so I guess that's causing some problems. I hope though that it can't be solved the normal way since I really don't believe that they didn't refund on purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

npatel1050 132 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Two weeks out from last update, I think it's time for a new one. I hope they're taking other measures to ensure supply line continues to operate.

__fastcall 97 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 As if there is a factory outside of china. So many companies have problems getting materials, fxtec is a small one and has probably issues as well. However, in this thread was stated that phones were produced but not yet shipped. They wanted to continue after the holiday season. So .. what is the status about that? Is shipping still the one thing that's missing, or not? Obviously not all phones would be done, but at least a chunk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Banking on one factory to reopen is risky and frankly shortsighted Remember that they are small, so they easily will be pushed aside when a larger customer wants stuff. Hard to fight the giants. Even though they may already be using multiple sources for standard parts, their volumes are so small that doing so for specialised parts, would add heavy surcharges. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raksura 270 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Quote Hello, We just wanted to give you a quick update on the current Pro1 manufacturing and shipping capabilities. Since the last email update we have made some progress (slow progress but progress nevertheless), and following the last few weeks of disruption staff are now back to work at the factory which is great news! However, with travel restrictions still in place across China a scheduled components delivery did not end up taking place today. We are working closely with the factory to get this resolved as quickly as we can, so hopefully we will be able to continue manufacturing all remaining devices next week. We understand that this might not be the news you were hoping for but the current situation is completely out of our control. Rest assured we are as determined as ever to get these units to you as soon as possible, and we expect things to start moving much quicker next week. Thank you once again for your continued patience and support. Sincerely, Adrian and Chen Founders, F(x)tec 2 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anonim001 105 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 So, on the warranty repair news... it came out that the company has changed the office address (was there any newsletter or something on that?) and they do not have my phone. They promised to send someone to the old office yesterday, but after sending a reminder I've got a reply, that they still don't have it... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you opened a repair ticket and gotten this adress or have you send it without contacting customer service first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
