Title: Axon II almost sold out (this is bad news)
Post by: Admin on May 12, 2010, 01:17:47 AM
I have some bad news (more for me than you guys).

My manufacturer never shipped me 80% of my product, after I already paid for it all, and has been ignoring my attempts to contact them for the last 2 months. :'(

That means my Axon II supply is really really low. I have enough supply to last about 6 weeks, and thats it.

If they never get back in touch with me, it may be 4-6 months before I have a fresh supply.

So if you need an Axon II, get it now, otherwise, I still have plenty of the original to go around.

Forget about the Axon II shortage. Is there anyway you can get your money back?

I'm trusting overseas companies less and less these days :\
Sent an iphone off to be repaired and never saw it again...

If anyone can get me their phone number or help in any other way, you'd be totally amazing:

Good news is that I finally got the parts to send to my new manufacturer.

And when I moved back to the US, I found a big box of more Axon II's that I forgot I had in storage. So I haven't run out of stock yet. :)

The bad news is that I only have enough to last until next week. And I won't have any new ones for approximately 5 weeks from this posting.

So if you need one and can't wait until mid-October, order now :P

Only one Axon II left.
I still have plenty of the original Axons, though.

fyi:
My new manufacturer has begun making new Axon IIs, and they estimate 2 weeks. After I include programming, testing, packaging, shipping, and 'just in case' buffer time, I suspect I won't be shipping again until October 20th.

Hehe, with any luck that was my order that went through.  Getting ready to start my first robot.  I'm an experienced programmer and worked as a satellite/wideband communications electronics repair tech.  This will be my first attempt at design and engineering though, so wish me luck. :)

Hmmmm it doesn't match your forum email address, but the second to last order at 4:53pm matches your state. Sound right?

Yeah, that would be me.  My forum e-mail goes through filters and gets forwarded :).
