BFL sample Chips

[af_newbie]

Has anyone who ordered BFL chips actually received them? 

It has been more than 14 days since the first orders were placed.

BFL promised to ship sample chips 14 days after order has been placed.

Just curious.  Anyone?

Bought BFL chips 6/11. No samples received. No word from BFL. Josh says it's the sales departments's problem.

Bill Cosby used to have a bit describing a guy who, every day, would go sit on the railroad track, and, every day, same time, a train would come along and knock him into the dust. 

So one day Bill went up to him, lying in the dust, and said:  "Why do you sit on the track every day, when every day you get knocked off by the train?" 

The guy replies:  "Because I can't believe that it's going to happen every day."

Wow, I ordered about a week after you, still nothing.  Got an email from Anthony Fast  (chips@butterflylabs.com) that they would ship in 14 days.  That was 2 weeks ago, I emailed him again.  Waiting for a reply.

I had more 100+ buys lined up but I'll not be buying more until I see samples.

Honestly dude you should know better !!

...lolz

The only reason I think there's a chance the bulk of chips may ship out in a somewhat timely fashion is that 50% of payment is due on delivery. Unfortunately there is alternatively no such direct financial incentive for BFL to ship the sample chips.

Well, yeah, except there's a basic econ principle that says you only work until the incremental gain is <= to the incremental work.

So if someone gets $1 for doing absolutely nothing, and to get the next dollar, actually has to some major work, well ... pro forma out some different scenarios.

buying from BFL is a bad bet at first place. but keeping up with deadlines is not what BFL is about anyway.

I see it now.  They cannot be trusted what they say.

Their "chips sales guy" said 14 days, now he does not reply to emails.

I'm not sure if they will actually deliver chips in 100 days.

I would recommend for people to stop buying chips from these guys until they send out samples.

Shocking.

This just in from Josh:


Anthony is not longer with us, which is why the sample chips have languished. I just corrected this problem today and we have a new person on it... he should be getting the sample chips taken care of over the next couple days.

R. I, P. Anthony. We hardly knew you.
Epitaph: Don't ask Josh questions.

btt.

Has anyone actually received the chips?

BFL_Johnathan is on the case... he's getting the sample chips sent out and everyone squared away.

Sorry for the delay. We sent out about half of them yesterday and today and I think the rest will go out in the next day or two, depending on workload.

According to them they have all shipped. Good luck.

I think MrTeal has, a couple of days ago.

Perhaps he likes to evade from this?

Mr. Teal has received sample chips and I got an email from BFL stating more sample chips would be sent out this week.

[MrTeal]

Yes, I received mine late last week.
