PDPI Card?

PDPI Card?

by Richard ZZ Busc » Sat, 22 Jan 2000 04:00:00

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew if PDPI is still shipping
cards? I ordered a card back in October, they mailed me it was
backordered. I've been to the web site, it's still up. I've emailed
about my order, but haven't heard anything. I was wondering if anyone
here knew anything.
Backordered for 3 months? Maybe I should cancel my order and reorder?

Thanks,  ZZ

I ordered PDPI L4 on November 15th and I received e-mail confirming my
order, and that they will ship card in 60 days. Recently, after more then
two months of my order, I sent 5 e-mails asking what happened with my order.
I didn't receive any response. What a shame for a company trying to make
some impact on this news group with recent posts (Schumi) and announcing new
quality products and services. That isn't a way PDPI will make us believe in
there promises. Even worse, I see that I'm not alone in being ignored from
PDPI.

Here's the deal....

We are backordered for one reason, and one reason only. We have been very
busy raising capital to launch our new product lines, and the deal is to be
signed and completed this week. The parties that are investing in the
company have stated that they do not want us to make the manufacturing order
for the L4s until such time as the deal is done, and they can explore
(quickly) the possibilities of having "their" manufacturing contacts in
China do the production at a potentially lesser price.

Please note that no one hates these delays more than we, but we have had to
abide by the stipulations of the party that is to take us to the next level.
I am sincerely sorry for the delay, and you can expect to receive your L4 in
5 weeks. I know that this is yet another delay, but as soon as the deal is
signed next week (just working out some minor details... crossing the Ts and
dotting the Is), we initiate a manufacturing order. It will take 3 weeks for
us to get them, and which point it will take another week to arrive
(depending on where you are), and of course... add one more week to get to
next, and we are left with 5 weeks in total.

Your payments have not been processed at this point, and will not be
processed until such time as we deliver the product. I am sincerely sorry if
your enquiries have not been replied to. I have replied to every single one
that has been forwarded to me to answer.

You can contact me at the address attached to this post, and I will be more
than happy to answer any further questions you may have. Again... we are
very sorry for the delay, and we ourselves hate them as much as you.

Cheers,

Shumi
Director of Marketing & Business Development

Cancel your order if you want and I will sell you my L4 for $30
shipped to your door.  I'll ship it 2nd day air UPS to your door on
Monday.

Thanks for explaining reason for delay, but shouldn't be much better for all
of us, if we got that explanation in replay to our numerous e-mails sent to
PDPI.

Anyway, I wish you good luck in raising capital and making new products, and
really hope I will get my L4 card in 5 weeks.

Are you dissatistied with the product?

If yes, explain why please.

Shumi;
  Thanks for taking the time to reply to our questions/concerns.
Unfortunately, it shouldn't have taken the outcry that resulted to get
an answer.
  I'm not blaming you of course, but PDPI.  The info. you passed on
should have been available to all of us who ordered a card.  We
shouldn't have had to basically beg/search for info.  At the least, it
should have been on their site.
  My order's still canceled.  If it takes this much effort to
communicate with PDPI, no thanks. :(
  They may make good products, but they forgot about basic customer
service.

Hmm, I gues it's a good thing I got mine a few months ago.  I got it in about 2
or 3 weeks(going from memory).  I'm surprised that the service/response time
has gone down...

No, not dissatisfied at all.  I have no need for L4 at this time.  I
have since upgraded all of my controllers to USB (including some
homemade controllers).  I figure I should pl;unge right into the
digital era!
