Actually, j-memory above says he also received his. We know some of our European, Australian, New Zealand, Japan, S. Korea customers who paid for FedEx International shipping have received theirs as well (several dozen confirmed so far).

Keep in mind that we still haven’t received the 4GB, 8GB models or accessories to our warehouse yet. The tracking number states we are expected to receive them in about 1 week plus or minus a few days (most likely Nov 23 or 25 as Nov 24 is Thanksgiving Holiday in the US and all shipping services are closed that day).

For those of you who purchased with allnet and are in the US, how long did it take for shipping? It’s been about a week for me and it appears to just be stuck on “Departed from sorting facility Dongguan, Guangdong” for the past week, not sure if it’s lost or just taking extra time

Edit: as of 11/17 the tracking got updated to say it left China on 11/15. Guess the tracking is just slow.

I know you probably know this, but we didn’t start with order number AD00001 with the preorders for the ROCK 5B. :rofl: And we were receiving a lot of orders for other things while we were receiving preorders for the ROCK 5B.

BTW, we’re working on a new fulfillment system that will hopefully be ready by the end of the year that will allow us to double our shipment rate with the same resources as we have now. So next time, as both we and Radxa have learned from this experience, we expect to receive our inventory at the same time as Allnet (instead of several weeks later) and we’ll hopefully be able to ship 500 orders a day without breaking a sweat. :crossed_fingers:

on what number did the preorder counter start/work

I ordered/paid on September 12th with order AD58773.
As I understand it, Ameridroid didn’t create a separate numbering system for the pre-orders.

Got my tracking number from Anetidroid. of course I ordered the 16GB model.

i also orderd the 16gb model to be future proof

This morning, our team broke their own long-standing record for most packages shipped per hour (avg 72, or 1.2 packages per minute). The process looks like this: Order loaded on tablet, pick list printed, items picked and logged on tablet, order loaded on double-checker’s tablet and double-checked and logged on tablet, packing list printed and signed, box unfolded and taped, items packed in box, box weighed, label created, printed and affixed, and then placed in the proper outgoing bin. All this in an average of 50 seconds, and then repeated for hours on end.

The result of this is that they finished shipping out all the ROCK 5B 16GB units we had at our warehouse this morning. This includes all ROCK 5B 16GB orders placed through September 27, except for a handful that had issues (incorrect address, request to combine orders, etc.). If you placed your 16GB order before Sep 27 and haven’t received your tracking number by tomorrow Friday, Nov 18, please let us know at https://ameridroid.com/pages/contact

Our team wants to thank all our customers for their support and patience, and especially our extra-generous customers who left tips along with their orders. Those tips are being used to buy lunch :yum: for the whole ameriDroid staff for pushing hard to get all these orders shipped in just a few days.

We are expecting our next shipment to arrive next week (probably around Nov 23 give or take a couple of days). This shipment should contain enough items to fulfill all preorders for ROCK 5B units (4GB, 8GB and 16GB) plus all the accessories.

Our apologies to Ryan who placed his 16GB order on Sep 28, and all the rest after Ryan, and the 4GB and 8GB customers whose units aren’t already on the way or delivered. :grimacing:

We’re going to try to beat 50 seconds per order when the units arrive next week!
