Keeping in the spirit I wanted to kick this off for the next batch on a positive note. Last report from Brent was "Haskell, your Your-order-is-in-the-home-stretch email is coming mid-NAB :)

Thanks Brent and RED team!!!! coming by the booth to visit tomorrow...or is that today! ;) For you cigar folks I come bearing gifts from Cuba. :)

"Your-order-is-in-the-home-stretch" doesn't quite sound as good as "Your-order-is-shipping" w/ tracking #. Although any news is good news...
I would care to guess based on the group before us & NAB possibly slowing things down that we won't get shipping confirmations until next week... Hopefully I'm wrong... but Just a guess.

Nils Ruinet
04-16-2008, 06:24 AM
Any updates on the availablility of :
- Metric 18-50 and 50-150 lenses ?
- EVF ? (seems to be around #200-300, is it still ramping up ?)
- 7" LCD ?
- Mattebox ?
Jarred said recently that 16GB CF cards are coming very soon. I think I'll wait for these and stick with the Red Raid for now.
Andrae Palmer
04-16-2008, 06:55 AM
I cancelled the order for the 5.6"... it seems like the 7" LCD's are shipping right now... can someone confirm this? In any case I don't want the 5.6"... would rather use my Panasonic 17" LCD until the 7" ships.

I emailed my rep on the 7" and here's his email response below from yesterday...
"The LCD has just been released, so we do not have any word on delivery dates. I would imagine that it would not be shipping for a while, and we would ship this item according to camera number. Sorry, but the LCD will not be swappable."
The last bit was my question if by any chance the 5.6" could be swapped out later for a 7" upgrade...

How it is not sawppable ? you mean after recieving your 5 inch Lcd you watn to Swap it to 7 inch . IT is for no doubt not sawppable
or He was spoking about resevation holders that they want to swap from 5 to 7 inch ,, i think why not it will be sawppable

Since the RED primes are not available just yet... do we have to pay in full for the RED primes for our RED One to ship? Optimal situation that I would like is to pay for the RED One and all the accessories then pay for the RED primes when they become available.

No taxes on my order and I gave them my FedEx # for shipping. There were mistakes on the first 2 emails and then I got the correct final total and invoice.

Hey guys, just a heads up. Tax's and shipping are not included in you invoice, but you are obligated to pay them (or provide a shipping #). So make sure you give yourself a little cushion when you send in your money. if I remember correctly tax was 8.25% (3% with tax credit form).

Really? I thought anything being sent out of state couldn't charge CA state tax.

Sorry for that, Brent. I was checking the wrong one. Man, I am excited.

I also didn't get one. Although I got one in April and also paid that month, Should I expect one or am I just waiting for it to miraculously arrive at my door?

Since you are both paid, maybe you are just waiting for tracking details? That would be exciting!

Same here. My reservation number is 1775, I got my "almost ready to ship" mail in April, paid on April 19th, payment received by RED on April 22nd, no mail in the last few days.

I am looking into the logs from the blast and see some did not go out for some reason. Just a few and I have alerted our webmaster. I will make sure he blasts out those that were missed. My apologies and I am on it....
Rest assured, your orders are still there :)

I've got my tracking number ! And, thanks to Dan Duran, who put it on the Fedex truck at the last minute, my camera will arrive the day before I leave for my holidays. Now I can take my baby with me :biggrin:

Mystery solved. Knowing we'd ship A LOT of cameras today, we started pre-picking orders yesterday to stage for shipping today. Once an order is picked, it looks like it is "delivered" to our email system and, therefore, does not send a "your camera is ready" email on something that appears already delivered. So, my bad for not catching this nuance - but good news, it means it was ready for pickup. And, just in case, still having our webmaster blast you those emails to those who did not get one in a custom blast...
Yes, the guys in the BOMB SQUAD and warehouse put in long days the last two days to get ready to get you your orders. Glad to see people already getting tracking numbers :) Enjoy!

I was a little bit sly on this, I emailed my rep to confirm my order was fine before the email blast, and now its already on its way out of the pearly red gates! Many thanks and public appreciation to the Polo!

you guys are really fast now, just planning a production in mid july with rental cameras, but seeing this delivery-flow, maybe with my own camera (20++)?jesus, i would save money if this come true.
and congrats to all 1750er-2000er getting cameras, you are deserving this joyness after the "catch up" shock (remember how pale we were some weeks ago)...

UPDATE - So the people who had their orders pre-picked on Monday (see my post on previous page) did not get the "Your order is ready" email, like I said. So, I had the webmaster reblast. If you are in this group and your totals look screwed up, it is because we sent you the email AFTER we had picked your order. So, it is kind of like telling you your dinner is ready after you have already eaten :)
Basically, the email system looks at an order and emails what has not been delivered. If it has been prepped for delivery, it is not in the email.
Long story short, if your email looks jacked up, it means your camera is almost in your hands, haha. Your order itself is not screwed up, just what the email is showing may be off.
Email your BOMB SQUAD rep with questions!

thank GOD! I was so happy to get an email around 1am last night, but then shocked to see that you were confirming my order of a RED ONE, an EVF, and an XL T shirt (i where a medium)!
I feel WAY better now. Thanks BC!

My rep told me yesterday that it's ready to ship and that it should ship today. Waiting for the tracking number...
And by the way, no Red drives yet. They don't know for how long they will be on back order...

It took exactly 1 week for my wire transfer to arrive (from France).

That's the fastest turnaround I've heard of! I thought most people waited a month or more between wire and delivery.
Jan Reiff
06-12-2008, 08:11 AM
one month ...
yes, but this was a time before catch up process.
red did it right to take a deep breath, now they can handle all very faster and better.
Tico Llaurador
06-12-2008, 08:25 AM
FYI... RED #1877 was delivered a couple of hours ago. Sent wire last Friday. Got tracking yesterday. That's three full business days between payment and delivery. Remarkable.
Jan Reiff
06-12-2008, 08:35 AM
wow, red team is on high speed. would like to see a webcam of their rooms. should look like a time-ramping in real time, hehe.
respect.
they have better cameras than the other companies, and now they are even faster at delivering.
and fed ex trucks need new wheels after this week...

Should a printed manual be in the package?

No, with firmware upgrades changing functionality all the time, by the time we printed a manual, we'd have to trash it and go to print with the next version :)

In the camera box should be a tray that includes a mini-XLR to XLR cable, a BNC to DIN cable, a SD CARD, and a BOLT SET.
