**From Ben on eD forums**
June 1st
Yes, everything so far is still on par. However I've seen a lot of posts on this and wanted to try and clear something up a little.
Once again, demand has outweighed expectations. This time not by much so we are pretty stinking well prepared so far.
Big thing about June 1st I want to make clear. The new drivers will BEGIN to ship on the 1st. The chances of every single speaker getting out the door on the first is pretty much slim to none, outright, it's impossible unless god himself can come down and help me
eD only has a few people that are around to help out in these times. We can only push out roughly 30 speakers a day roughly. Keep in mind there are hundreds, literally, hundreds of people waiting on the new speakers.
Downfall is yes, it will probably take up to 2 or more weeks to get most everything out. So what is the piont.
-Quality control my friends-
We have to inspect each driver. I guess we don't have to. But we do. one by one. test it, inspect it cosmetically, mechaniicaly and package it. Do shipping labels after that. Each speaker has a good dedicated 10-20 minutes of personal time before leaving our building not to mention the restrictions of how many packages we can fit on the UPS Truck eD will take some more time becuase we don't get things in, slap a ups label on them, and just push them out the door. We inspect each speaker, it's packaging, and that both are top notch before leaving here, that takes a little time and becuase of our limited supply of help, it's unaviodable.
With this being said. Please understand guys / and girls that the new drivers start shipping June 1st, they will not all leave on that day. It will probably take 10-14 days to finish everything becuase of the time we spend with each individual product.
Please do not email me asking if your driver is one of the first to ship, or if I can make it one of the first to ship. We do the speakers by their demand, and by who ordered first. As it works out, the 12" K, O, A's ship out first. The 10s and 15s to follow as those numbers are quite a bit smaller and most of the 10" and 15" orders have some in during the last month or so of pre-production.
Please understand we are just trying to do the best we can do to deliver a solid product that works, on time, everytime, with limited supply of funding, and help. The end product is going to be worth every penny you've paid for it imo.
excited for June,
Ben
