Isn't Luke Jr. at BFL today?

And Luke entered the temple and drove out all those who were mining and crafting in the temple, and overturned the benches of the assemblers and the seats of those who were selling butterflies.


good one, lol

Looks to me like some followers are forking their religion, perhaps entering a cult. I've even noticed that I. Ron Butterfly added a new song in the hymnal: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. I, for one, plan on attending Chipstock, a million-man-concert produced by Dank.

It went offline a while back and came back up.  The forum and the website are both down now, though.

Tired, hence the incorrect word choice.

No, it's an important point which I think you're right to raise.  BFL have never said that all pre-order money remains untouched, only that it wasn't being used to fund development.  They could very easily clarify whether or not pre-order funds have been untouched except for refunds if they wanted to (tired, poor grammar).

They've also stated that no pre-order moneys were used for development, inferring that if everybody cancelled all at once, everybody would be promptly paid in full with no questions asked.

Your powers of inference are getting shaky Phin.  Stating that no pre-order funds were used for development in no way implies that they haven't been used for other expenses or that they're quarantined.

Wait I just read it lol.

It says they will be issuing refunds after Jan 1st. So what changed?

Seems the pre-order funds are running low. Gotta stop the refunds asap.

Hate to do this to you Syke, but you're wrong. More than one of the BFL crew clearly stated that only a few orders were canceled. They've also stated that no pre-order moneys were used for development, inferring that if everybody cancelled all at once, everybody would be promptly paid in full with no questions asked.

To prove that the above is factual, I invite Josh to refute it.

For definite delays of up to 30 days, you may treat the customer's silence as agreeing to the delay. But for longer or indefinite delays - and second and subsequent delays - you must get the customer's written, electronic or verbal consent to the delay. If the customer doesn't give you his okay, you must promptly refund all the money the customer paid you without being asked by the customer.

Finally, you have the right to cancel orders that you can't fill in a timely manner, but you must promptly notify the customer of your decision and make a prompt refund.

Nobody's disagreeing that BFL has contravened this regulation, but it still only entitles customers to a refund.

No clue. In fact given that BFL appears to have outsourced everything I have no idea what these people actually do with their work days.

Watch the refunds in action. A true test if their sales are actually "final or not'.

I'm fucked if I know what customer service is so busy with given that they should have been spending most of their time on putting units in boxes and shipping them by now.
