I'll assume by September, you mean September 2020? This is a user to user forum, so unfortunately there are no answers here, only guesses,. The bad news is that they haven't yet managed to fulfill all the "pre-orders". They said something about another batch going out in early September, but we haven't had that confirmed, nor do we know how large a batch. The good news is, if they do succeed in fulfilling all the pre-orders, there probably isn't a huge number of new orders yet, so it really could be sooner rather than later. You'll really have to ask at info@fxtec.com and see if they say anything. For now, you can only go by the 10-12 weeks they promised on the order page. I will also say, you will get it. FxTec is terrible at communication, but they aren't liars nor scammers and their customer support is good. Edited September 15, 2020 by Hook 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given their username ("F(x)Tec Slow As Molasses") they probably made this account out of frustration for an order on a different one...That said, is 12 months really unreasonable? I'm over 9 at this point myself. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and no. 9 months ago, COVID was hitting China and factories closed down in Feb. It's been a tough year. It doesn't necessarily translate to that long a wait if ordered now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DieBruine 397 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I received a screen last Monday. this was two weeks later than expected. I would assume my screen was sent from the same new batch. So surely some people should have received their phone by now, right!?! 🙃 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The majority of the orders are complete. It's only natural for people to discuss a problem in the community, not the lack of. We barely ever hear from the customers who have received their devices in contrast to those who haven't. It's the cycle of purchasing a Pro1 - order > join the community to see if you're the only one waiting > receive the device a few months later > exit community. Of course, we are lucky to have very supportive Pro1 advocates who discuss the positive experiences with their Pro1, but a complain is typically a lot more of a reason to speak than a positive experience is - it's human nature. Positivity is expected, therefore not widely discussed, while delays can be frustrating and need reassurance by other community users in the same position. Once they're no longer in the "waiting position", most community users become inactive. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a number of users usually make a comment or pose a question when they have received their device. So I think the questions on the status of the announced "Early September batch" is quite reasonable to pose on September the 23. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure the majority of orders has been completed? Should I be sending a mail to info@fxtec.com? The majority (2/3) of Pro1 pre-orders were placed in the first few months of us accepting pre-orders. Those were the small percentage of people who are happy to pre-order a product and wait for it. The biggest rush was in the first few days, as that's when everyone was rushing to be amongst the first. Most people who want a Pro1 haven't placed an order because it doesn't ship tomorrow like most people are used to. That is a segment we haven't explored yet as we haven't really launched with readily available stock. In contrast to how much we have shipped, the remaining orders are very few. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd like to join the request – September 19, 2019, QWERTZ. If nothing else, this definitely has been a good training in patience! Maybe I've even become a bit more even-tempered overall along the way 😉 59 minutes ago, Erik said: The majority of the orders are complete.

Perhaps a small overhead buffer, primarily for any needed warranty replacements, but I never heard that they would carry an extensive stock. There MIGHT be some dealers that want to take that chance though. We know that a few dealers had bought a handful for stock a while back - but they were sold out practically immediately. I do not know if any dealers currently got a stock. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
