Sent an email to info@openppg.com on Dec 15th. Hoping you can get to it before you start shipping… again timely support is key to those who give you this much $$$. Makes me worry a lot for post support if this fails at any point. unfortunately my confidence is wavering and wondering if this is a second/backup unit. Anyway, just expressing my thoughts right now.
Maybe this will give some of you waiting on the SP-140 some peace of mind.
I ordered a V-3 X-4 factory assembled unit in July 2018 and received it end January 2019, and it has worked flawless since I received it!
I too, would worry and text looking for answers on
“When”?
Am I going to get what I paid for?
Maybe received a personal answer one time in 5 months!
My buddy Rob Cato ordered a V-2 Kit and his took some time to receive.
I used Robs experience to quell my fears, anger and frustration and keep me calm and cool.
Pauls communication is not the norm in the business world that we are accustomed to!
I fully believe that all of you will receive your SP 140’s (soon) and that they will be well worth the wait!!

I don’t want to speak for Paul but I also don’t believe in not putting out info for your customers so…I did receive an email from him when I requested an update on my order status.
basically he told me it’s going to be another 30 to 50 days before the units are shipped because it’s just now leaving the factory and it’s going to be on a boat for 25 days apparently. he said he’s trying to speed up the process where he’s can but that’s where we’re at for now.

Received Jan 30th from Paul,
“The container is shipping in the next 3 days.
So 30 days out before its delivers to us. We will then take about a week to ship out after delivery of the container.”
So basically we are looking at mid March at the earliest.
Patience is virtue, good things come to those who wait, manufacturing is hell (St. Musk).
These are good guys and deserve all our support despite shortcomings.
Peace!
Awesome

There are a couple different threads. Heres the latest
Update - Sounds like there is a week delay, there’s no direct tracking I can look at once it off the ship but from what I’m being told its an additional week to transfer the stuff through customs.
So the 22nd is now the expected delivery date.

#suez? hopefully not.
No its been sitting waiting to be loaded onto rail for about 30 days. And the terminal that our container is in are particularly backed up. I called in and they said typically it takes 20-45days right now (because the currently backup) to be loaded onto the rail. Its very frustrating because they don’t give any updates or seem to have a queue.
I should get an email from them in the next 1-2 days.
I already asked them that (oocl) a few days ago, they said you cant do it. (im sure you could figure out something but the person i talk to laugh and said hes never heard anyone do that so…
Tell OOCL that you’re coming to pick up the shipment and you’ll take it… personally.

Well they are about as good as Amazon with their “get it tomorrow” promises. I will use the wait time to get my paratrailer solar electrical system finished. Thank you for showing us this. I had a hell of a wait for my Skydio drone too, but it was worth it.
