While its understandable why some of you are unhappy for paying upfront to pre-order the Almond+, we as a small company can't really absorb the cost(which corporations like Amazon etc. can) after potential buyers placing pre-orders and then backing out at the last minute when we have already incurred a cost in shipping the units from Taiwan and stocking with Amazon. While this has already happened when some of you were not ready to wait and requested refunds, we have provided the same immediately. All the pre-ordered units are now getting fulfilled by Amazon and there is no hold up from our end. Its just a matter of time when and how fast Amazon delivers the units based on the the region, logistics involved etc. So, only request, a littler more patience, your units are already released by us, just awaiting for Amazon to deliver.
