And if you can map order number to true pre-order count, would you be able to take the highest pre-order number and find out how many phones were ordered? The API is from their WooCommerce WordPress plugin, so yes. The current highest order number is 8441X (x is a single digit but belongs to a real person so I won't share the order number.) The number of paid orders isn't possible to determine precisely because they didn't delete the canceled unpaid orders but a good guess can be made because ecommerce cart conversions are reasonably predictable. (I've been using a conversion rate of 3 in my guesses instead of the industry standard 6 because this item is pretty special.) FXtec has been asked for numbers but has not responded to those requests so I won't give out much more than to correct when people say stupid things like there are 48,000 orders because that's far from true. I've gone into specifics on my estimates in the much smaller IRC channel if you're interested in talking there and will promise not to share widely since that is pretty clearly not something FXtec wants.

Without getting into the actual numbers for the highest order number, how does 5400 relate to 150 if you are taking every 3rd order number? 5400/3 = 1800. Or, is there really a mapping from order number to number of orders placed, and you are saying that you'll take the highest order placed and divide that by 3 to guess at the total number of paid orders? In other words, then your 150th order placed might be the 50th paid order? Edited January 20, 2020 by david Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In other words, then your 150th order placed might be the 50th paid order? The API allows enumerating every single order number so to reach 150, I counted the 149 valid pre-order numbers before my order 5400. The pre-order numbers don't follow any numerical pattern that I've been able to determine. Some are only a few apart, some are hundreds apart. The divide by 3 is to determine an estimate of actual paid orders from pre-orders. It's well documented that ecommerce can normally expect 1 in 6 items placed in cart (even in single item storefronts) to result in a sale, but I'm assuming that this very special item did better than that. I don't know, the 3 is an intuitive guess and nothing more. So, yes I'm guessing my order is actually the 50th paid order. Edited January 20, 2020 by B.X 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as what I know the only relevant we got recently is this but that was quite pessimistic it seems only expecting stock assigned by the end of next week, and it seems that at the least a fair portion of those have already been emailed today. Earlier batches via warehouse took about two weeks from stock assigned to it arrived on the doorsteps in Europe. You can see some examples browsing in this, Mine took 15 days. Four days between tracking code and delivery to DK. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Except for pretty small amount of what I assume were pre-ordered retail units pretty much everyone is waiting, including those who had cancelled and had to move to the back of the line. as you might have noticed, most people payed on 31-st of July, so it kiinda sticks to the rules set, except for that country-based nonsense, which no one really knows how it works anyway. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe how this company can write on January 13th that all pre orders will be shipped in January and three days later it's only 70%? Well they clearly stated that they PLAN to do all preorders. And maybe they are not the only company trying to get stuff out before chinese new year. So there could be reasons like the logistic company giving them a slot on a certain day. It could be a difference of 30% if they have to send the phones today or on the 25 of january, 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mails were sent based on order numbers to give early orders a chance to pay before LATE orders, so that part worked as planned. Too bad they didn't actually kept to it... Fingers crossed that there will be more stock assigned e-mails going out today but I am not amused so far. Pre-ordered early, paid early, but I will most likely get screwed with waiting yet another 1-1,5 month because I am from a small country. Totally fair... 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) On 1/16/2020 at 2:52 PM, Erik said: No no no. The formula is: 1. "Total orders of a country" is what percent of all orders? 2. Then, how many units does the country percentage equal to out of the current batch size? 3. = the number of units shipped to that particular country, based in order of when the payment was received. Whether it's a country with low interest or not, this formula keeps it fair for everyone. If it was only done in order of payments, the smaller countries may have to wait for a while, as not everyone was awake when we started accepting payments :). Obviously we don't count the Indiegogo orders, as those are all going to be complete with this batch. When Erik introduced this formula, the idea was to compensate for differences in time zone. In practice persons who paid only on 21st of August receive their phone earlier than the ones who paid on August 2nd! Congratulations to them! So it does not seem the rule was only about compensating time zone... What was it about? Edited January 21, 2020 by Guest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stavers 9 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Pre-order - 29th August Full order - 8th September Order Number - 339XX IGG - No Country - UK No stock assigned email which, looking at order dates from other countries that do have assignemnt, is hardly surprising. I was holding out a tiny sliver of hope that a pre-order from almost 5 months ago wouldn't fall in to the "recent" pre-order category that wouldn't make shipment. On that logic, a ~7 month old pre-order from the end of July is "ancient" and a ~5 month old one is recent 🙂 I was certainly hoping that I would be included as my Priv is becoming a bit unreliable - even with a brand new battery fitted. The only thing that has meant I have kept my pre-order is that the processor on the Cosmo is not much better than the Priv! If it was a newer one I have a feeling I would have long ago switched alliance! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Muth 132 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Do you think they finished with the assignment mails ? I'm a bit sad, I have to admit. I thought I paid rather quickly, the 1st of August, few hours after mail reception.
