To the project leader of 96 boards,
I have ordered through Avnet a HiKey board shortly after it was announced. My order is dated February 19, four months ago (PO Number: WEB5348914). And I still have received NOTHING.
The shipping date has been pushed at least three times on the Avnet website and the promise date is now /6/3/2015. BTW, today is 6/12/2015.
I have contacted 96boards back a months ago and after a short email exchange with CircuitCo (I still don't get it why my message was forwarded to CircuitCo), I didn't receive neither a precise shipping date, nor an explanation of what's going on.
So can the project leader of 96boards.org explain the situation and clarify if this project is just another scam or one of those failing kickstarter project to deliver? How can I get a refund? Avnet is refusing to reimburse.
I don't know if I'm the only one in this situation, but this is a complete poor experience. When I ordered, I didn't see a message like "you are not going to receive your board soon".
Grégoire
PS: There is even not an email address on the 96boards.org website. Who is in charge of this project?
We are completing a shipment to Avnet now and without knowing exact turn time they should have your order filled a couple of days after.
Thanks,
