[Replied]Allip started selling 8k, 5k, 5kbe in Korea and is not a pre-order

What did you do to protest it?

How do you mean? In 2 weeks most backers will still be waiting

You are right. Korean retailer Allip may have only partially accepted pimax 's request.
Perhaps…

Yeah but they can’t sell a product with a delivery date of 2 weeks unless they have the go ahead from the manufacturer or they would lose their credibility.

Is this a major retailer in Korea? @park

Seems as if there’s another online store selling the BE editions… Gmarket-Korean No.1 Shopping Site, Hottest, Trendy, Lowest Price, Worldwide shipping available

unless they’re just middle men for allip

sorry, delivery is not within two weeks, at least two weeks.
Allip is the only retailer selling pimax products in Korea.

Except for Allip, it is an overseas purchasing agent.

Maybe, but it won’t let me purchase the Pimax because its says that they can’t ship the Pimax to the United States. A normal purchasing agent shouldn’t have that issue.

That looks like they can order it locally with this new company you found. @park what is the shipping time with this new company? I’m asking cause I can’t tell in the English version.

Sounds like there are more than 200 units here if it is in retail already.

The BE were supposed to be earlier versions of lower quality that their ā€œpartnersā€ were satisfied with and not wanting to wait on the improved version. This is VERY scummy.

They say it takes 16 days to complete delivery.

Haha! As the old saying goes… if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and smells like a duck, it’s a duck.

In the end, it’s all about money and surviving (thriving). Hopefully Pimax can be successful and not a grand opening, grand closing situation.

If they need the money and know they will be successful and take care of backers by selling to retailers right now, then do it. Just make sure they take care of their backers. This is all just speculation though.

Yeah and Pimax has almost finished manufacturing the units for the backers.
If they could just send’em out faster…

Well, they may or may not manufactured that many units but whether or not their for the backers is up for debate.

Matthew said all the backer units will be sent out in the end of the January.

They need a partner who is a business person. The executives of the company are engineers - technicians. Strategizing and making decisions for the business shouldn’t be wholly made by the technicians of a company. It appears they are searching for this person.

They’re coming out with new delivery schedule next week. We’ll see what it says. Problem is, they’ve had over a year to prepare which signals there’s something array. I’ll support them until everything is played out either way.

Yes true, and they should be planning the add-ons now and not next year.
It’s easy to give advices from here though.

That’s why forums are so much fun! I’m less on the technical side and more on the business side. I own my own business and have had to wear all the hats. It’s not easy at all.
