Dear All:

I am not exactly sleeping soundly every night lately. You want the devices and I gave a date and I am waiting for confirmation they shipped. We know they are done; but I guess getting them thru final QA is the hold-up. I am praying for word!!

I REALIZE how important this is and I internalize your concerns. I NEED word the jets are warmed up and loaded with Pocket PRO before I can sleep again!

Don't worry, once they ship, you'll be bombarded with questions regarding tracking and shipping times for the next 2 weeks

Test patients have either died, or became deathly ill afterwards, and records were doctored and changed. The truth is out there if people will search it out for themselves instead of accepting everything the media spins and hands us.

It's genocide and population control. You might be thinking "ooh, conspiracy theory", but it's not just theory, the facts are there. *shrug*

On the bottom are links to parts 2-5

There are much quicker and easier ways to population control. Its called war. Oh, and natural disasters, especially floods. Better blame the contrails for the floods. Oh, and weather control machines. Damn those machines.

Done the cancer thing already. Least I can blame 9-11 for that. Or are we gonna bring out the conspiracies for that one too?

Good thing I have my tin foil hat

Anyways, assuming we survive to see our EZReaders ship: Are we looking at UPS or FedEx here in the states?

Dear All:

Right on schedule, we will receive the White and the Black Pocket PROs within four days and will immediately fill all orders for Black or White!! Reviewers need them immediately so we will fill all orders for these two at once.

We also did not do bad with the colored units. They will ship out tonight from the factory... but China Customs has to ensure that the paint used meets all standards enforced in the USA. The USA asked for such additional screening and China is doing it. This should delay about four days. Then they ship to the USA via Air Freight. This will be the first time that colored Pocket PROs go through China customs and they have to ensure they are right.

U.S. Customs has informed us that they have to check China's work to ensure compliance. This should take 2-3 days.

It may go faster, but we think a worse case scenario is that they will ship in 9-10 working days!!

You KNOW how hard it is to estimate ship dates. We predicted August 31 months ago and we are hitting that date very close. I hope all will be happy with this. Astak, of course, has no power over Customs Agents.

Well, today is the end of August. Anyone heard from Robert?

joffry · 08-31-2009, 02:57 PM

Here's hoping it shipped. Credit card was charged so I'm assuming they have them and are ready to ship

Not necessarily, since it says on the pre-order page:

"In all cases your credit card will be automatically charged upon order."

My credit card was charged on the 22nd.

Robert just put an update on the forum. Black and White ones have arrived.

Stensie4JC · 08-31-2009, 07:39 PM

Robert, get some sleep. They're on the way, that's what matters. I'm glad to wait a bit longer to be sure the paint is safe.

Griffonwing, I'm very sorry to hear about your brothers. I know it's not the same thing, but my dad spent a few days miserably sick with The Plague when he was in the Navy because some medic wasn't paying attention and he got his shots too close together.

The best way to prevent the flu is to stay home and read your Pocket Pro.
