Don't want to necro, but is anyone else who preordered annoyed or doubting their decision? It seems like bst rarely updates, and it was supposed to go out early November...

Kinda :/. It also raises the concern of how he will handle any issues in the future. Apparently the mice have arrived and are sitting in a warehouse from his last update 2 weeks ago.

A part of me feels like I'm being impatient but then again why would you give a time-scale to people, update on progress being made and just go MIA?

Some stuff happened with the shipping that's out of bst's hands, so I don't care about the wait. The lack of updates from bst is kind of annoying, but honestly I couldn't care less. It's out of his hands, the most he can do is shrug and repeat that. People need to learn some patience, delays happen :>

IDK I'm pretty annoyed not that I haven't received the mice or anything but that their hasn't been anything said in over 2 weeks.

I've even opened a support ticket about a week ago as just inquiry on what was going on. No, response. Ninox and bst have the least amount of customer service I've ever had to deal with...

"Its not going to be much longer now, just waiting to hear back from the warehouse today, will report back as soon as I know more!"

that's what »bst said on the 17th.
i agree that it doesn't look good, but i have faith in bst.

i know how frustrating it can be to have your purchase delayed, but i wouldn't go all skeptical just yet.
people have started cancelling, or are considering doing it, but i'd give it at least a week more.

(btw, in case anyone has missed it: it's on massdrop for only $35 (5 days left). shipping cost is about $5 - $10, depending on where you live.)

I got in on the massdrop. Already have a mouse that I like, however, new thing things are always fun! Also, for 35$ can't really go wrong when you look at some other high end mice costs.

How about...anything? If something is delayed and is out of his hands, it would be really nice to know. I don't care what the excuse is really I just want to know what is going on, at the end of the day he gave a timescale, if he didn't think he could meet it he shouldn't of given one. If he couldn't meet it he should just say why.

No communication is just making it look like he's done a runner.

The point is he can simply say that with a little more flavor and it's worth more than saying nothing. Really now, you can't convince you earnestly believe a total lack of communication is equal to putting the time in to say something or anything. The point of customer service is to make the customer feel secure even if it's sugar-coating and spicing up a sentence that really only says "it's out of my hands." "I'm sorry, but an issue has occurred with the processing and for now I'm simply playing the waiting game. I'll be sure to send out an update when possible! Thanks for your purchase!"

This is high school stuff

I suppose, at least coming forward to say something would stifle the whiners on the ESR thread and quash any doubts people have at the moment.

Supposed update on Massdrop:

bst857Orders on the Ninox site are going out on Monday 1st Dec, this is because there was a problem with the royal mail account the warehouse was using, so its not related to the Massdrop shipping. The mice are in stock, so Massdrop can have them as soon as they need them. Sorry for any confusion.

No way to verify that this is the actual bst, as far as I know, so take it with a grain of salt.

it is the actual bst: he's posted on ESR.

the(your) mice are leaving the warehouse on monday.

By »bst:

Hi all, I was about to send them myself on Friday, but I've been told they're going to be sent out on Monday.

I know I've been quiet but I thought the mice would be sent earlier last week, I should have posted then, but I don't think it would have calmed many people down because it would have been pretty bad, at that time I started to wonder myself how long it was going to take.

The problem was the warehouse had to reapply for its Royal Mail account, and I was trying to find out how long it would take but I couldn't get an answer. I thought it was better just to wait a couple of days and have some news, but it just went on without anything. By then it had been a few days without posting on ESR so I just decided I would post when I got the news or by the end of the week if I didn't (and would have sent some out on friday myself). But instead, I found out on Friday that they're going out on Monday.

I posted on Massdrop shortly after finding it out, I was updating my graphics card drivers at the time and my PC died, I still don't know whats happened to it but thats why I'm posting today and not yesterday.

I'm sorry I went quiet but if you've paid you will get your order and if you want a refund thats ok too, I'm not dishonest, I've just got to improve on how I deal with these kind of situations.

i hope some of you skeptics can now start giving him/it the benefit of the doubt :)
what he's been doing is a treat for everyone caring about proper (and properly priced) peripherals. no pay-for-brand ware, no silly gimmicks or misleading advertising, etc.
let's hope this'll be a success and he continues to provide us with cheap, awesome things!

enjoy your mice, peeps!

edit: there's one day left on the massdrop deal.
