Timely, since I had the chance to use this on the beach this week. My friend ordered one after me - he got his 3 months ago. It looks like I'm going to get diddly-squat.
Having said that...it's a kick ass product. Kept beer cold on our porch over 20 hours (probably would have been longer, we drank the contents in that time). The blender churned out 3 full pitchers of margaritas + halfway through another - as we hung out on the beach. Was very easy to roll on the sand.
I'm more pissed the attitude this guy has had all along - "whoa, it's hard to find reliable providers in China." "Shipping is hard!". I would have paid more to cover the costs if they had just priced it out right. Now I hope he ends up getting tied up in legal challenges - maybe that'll knock the It's-Not-My-Fault attitude down a peg or two.
- pgrote 11y agoHas there been an explanation as to why later backers received theirs before early backers?
- danso 11y agoI'm not sure about later backers, but as money ran out, they gave priority to Amazon customers because it was priced at $499 on Amazon, not the $199 that backers paid. The logic was that the retail purchases would subsidize the early backers.
- sokoloff 11y agoIf you don't fulfill Amazon, you get kicked off Amazon, plus that's bringing in about $450 per sale (after Amazon fees) as opposed to $0 for a Kickstarter fulfillment.
