When do you think your Iliad will arrive? - Page 2

Sischa · 06-27-2006, 05:25 AM

I have also been charged yet which is very unusual especially when they say the are "deeply into B2B" ...

In B2B you usualy have to pay in i.e. 2 weeks after delivery or if you pay fast with a nice skonto ...

Riocaz · 06-27-2006, 05:44 AM

Sorry Sischa, do you mean you have been charged? or you havn't? (I'm assuming you have, but wanted to check)

tribble · 06-27-2006, 05:56 AM

ok, i was wrong, i have been charged on the 16. and i ordered on the 13.
So they better start shipping on June 30th.

Riocaz · 06-27-2006, 06:13 AM

So should we start booking flights to Holland to complain if they don't?

Sorry i am not that good in english

i mean i have been charged which i think is an unusual behavior. But i don't complain cause of that i feel fine calling them after the 30th june every 30 min to ask if they already shipped my Ilead hehe

CommanderROR · 06-27-2006, 08:38 AM

Maybe they needed the money to pay their workers, otherwise these wouldn't even start producing Iliads...^^

It's quite a large amount of money by the way...
If you take the number of Orders (I ordered yesterday and was No. 470) and mulitiply by the amount we get charged (i've translated it to Dollar for international sakes...) we get over 400000$. We don't know how much those Iliads cost in production, but iRex just recievde a considerable amount of cash anyway...maybe we should call them..to see whether they're still there or have taken the money and run...:-)

tribble · 06-27-2006, 08:42 AM

hehe, not enough money to run for. but hey, someone said, that the units are already produced.

CommanderROR · 06-27-2006, 08:47 AM

who said that and when...^^

Oh btw....did you all already register for the IDS so you can recevice updates the minute you Iliad arrives?

I thought Henry mentioned something like that. That would be the reason why there wouldnt be any more hardware changes. And that they had no shortage in devices. But thats just what i remember, dont hod me to it.

Did that on the 7th. 6 days before my invitation and order placement

CommanderROR · 06-27-2006, 10:14 AM

I also remeber that post by Henrycat, but it was a long time ago...let's hope they got more units in instead of giving those they had away for newspaper trials...

The money issue (if you can call it that) is a bit of a two-sided issue for me. On the one hand, having taken money already (in some cases 2-3 weeks before launch of the product) puts a lot of pressure on iRex if they want to delay, so it mightmake a delay more unlikely.
on the other hand I'm not too happy that a company as unreliable as iRex has its hands on so much of my money and I have nothing to show for it...not even a concrete delivery-date...

Sischa · 06-27-2006, 01:08 PM

Who cares? You paid with your credit card, at least here in germany you can always get your money back in the first 6 weeks with 1 single call to your cc company.

CommanderROR · 06-27-2006, 02:41 PM

Have you all recevide your "Iliad shipping first week of July" emails yet?

That would mean that I coudl have mine as soon as next tuesday...^^
not really..but pretty soon anyway.
they say either first or second week of July...I hope Order Number 470 doesn't pushe me into the second group.
