I just got a response, backer 4180, 8K NOT shipped. Now I am confused. I thought my 8K has been shipped after reading the comment of @anon74848233:

No,that’s a range.
For ship headset soon ,we ship headset by backer number and confirmed information.some backer is skipped because their information has not confirmed yet.

I am in the range:

26th Dec 2018[Backer Number:1450 ~6078]

And I confirmed the survey on December 5.

[OblibionHase]

well looks like its only about 2-3weeks for all hmd to be produced for all backers. Now the real test is shipping and quality control :3 quite happy!

[jss0831]

They do not ship headsets by backer number that is a lie. I am 867 8k I got my email 2 months ago saying ship soon and now their are backers getting their headset as high as 1201 and I cant even get a response from tech support as to “has it shipped yet” and after my second email to them I get a response of “ticket closed” What does ticket closed mean, its not an answer. So this we ship by backer number is a load of crap. And just to clarify I not even not upset that people after me are getting their headset, crap happens. What really is boiling my blood is after a few polite emails to pimax support which @anon74848233 recommended, the only email I finally get back just says “ticket closed” (in other words, let us slap you in the face cause we cant be bothered to even type a response. Its sad that we have people on this forum that are more helpful (@anon74848233, @Heliosurge) than their own support. Hell email me saying we are busy, or auto reply but don’t just close the ticket to get rid of me thats poor customer service.

[Heliosurge]

The ticket system is still quite new. Which is why Dallas & @Sean.Huang are trying to monitor the new system’s effectiveness. I am sure Sean & Dallas will look into getting this corrected. Hopefully your headset will ship & arrive soon.

Production Progress Update Jan 29/2019

Jan 08/2019 Dear Community, Here are the production daily report and production schedule for the last few days: Jan 04/2019 The production line produced 169 units of 5k+ and 0 units of 8K, and the module line produced 352 units.

Once again we ask for any info on 8k? You’re nearly at my backer number by next update. Do you still have 8k in stock ready to ship? Or is there an issue?

[General_Jeno]

Matthew said that up until now, not many 8K’s have been made yet but production should start on them today, since most 5K+ kickstarter orders have been produced. Over 2000 8K’s need to be produced. Given like 150-180 a day that should take like two weeks. It looks like their latest “we will ship all kickstarter orders January 2019” will hold true.

[Replied] What is the "module" line and what is it producing, and why are no units of the 8k being produced or shipped?

At the beginning we were producing 5K + and 8K together, but in order to increase production capacity, we have been producing 5K + according to the order. The good news is that Kickstarter’s order 5K + is almost finished. So we expect to start production of 8K next Tuesday. This will not affect the 8K backer to get their headset.

[Fomatter]

The only reason Pimax think they need 2000 8k units is because there survey hasn’t worked properly. The actual no of 8ks is probably a lot lower but who knows . When they release the backer spreadsheet again we might know more if it is accurate this time .

[light]

Ah I missed that post. Thanks so much man!
I’m 51xx so very close! As they finished at 49xx today.

[Sangwon04]

Haha nah you still have a long ways to go. I’m backer 21xx for 8k and I still haven’t gotten mine. I dont think any 8k backers received their headset yet. If so, I’m guessing maybe only 10? lol

[light]

My poor 8k
Their estimate was to have them all sent out by Jan.
So by close I meant within 1 month~

[Sangwon04]

Let’s not forget that their original estimate for shipping was February 2018 lol. But all that said, I’m still optimistic with their January estimate.
