AT this point he should be hiring a Temp agency or employee to help fulfill orders -- That's the problem with Kickstarter - they want to charge the same kind of retail pricing for items but don't want to use some of that funding to cover the business. He is getting them manufactured in bulk - he should also be prepared to handle the large distribution in a timely manner rather than trying to do it all by himself - that's what Temp agencies are there for. It's not like he hasn't known how many orders are going to need to be filled - he's had plenty of time to get prepared :dunno

The bulk of the shipping is being done straight from the factory.
He shipped the first small batch personally in order to gauge the success rate of delivery.
Shipping straight from the factory of course is fine when they are already brought and paid for however for him to have on demand stock he would need to purchase a bulk order upfront and then store them himself in a warehouse or similar.
I believe the current orders are somewhere in the region of 6000?
KenToad:
If he can't fill orders in a timely manner, then maybe he should form a partnership with someone who can.

A 2 month wait when backers have had to wait a year+ is nothing really. The risk is that by waiting you're going to be behind a wave of people who were sitting on the fence and are now excited about the product being finished and working.
That said. I'm holding out for an OEM version as I want to stick it in a slide recoil gun. :)

Exactly,
I have seen many people have said they have jumped on the indiegogo now they have seen its real from a few backers, I suspect as more people get them and put reviews up its only going to get bigger.
By the time the pre-orders finally clear it could be some time heh.
