I think you mean stage 3 (“preparing to ship your order”)?* From previous comments here, I’m assuming our laptops will ship 1-3 days after final payment and take another 5-7 days to arrive.
I notice @BoredStudent’s laptop seems to have shipped 3 business days after the stage 3 email. It might even arrive before the end of the week! (Do let us know!)
I’m really hoping ours will be delivered around Tuesday next week (though Monday would be best for me, as I’m supposed to be away Tue-Wed, if the God of Framework Deliveries is listening).
*If you did actually mean stage 2 (batch preparation), I would think that’s much more variable, as everyone in the batch is supposed to get that at the same time, regardless of what sub-batch they’re in.
EDIT: can you tell I’m rambling because I’m impatient too??
yes, my bad! I did mean stage 3. I think all of us are impatient for our laptops to arive! I do with that the framework gods are with us and deliver to us safely and fast!
Mine’s arrived. Apart from a couple of very small issues. The screen isn’t exactly centered, but should be easy to rectify with the screws, also the bezel base is closer to the body on one side, will need slight filing. But, it’s a fantastic lappy. Very happy so far. In fact, it’s very similar to my acer swift 3 13.5, same screen and everything. That has silver keys though so harder to see in the dark unless you turn the backlight off. Black keys are superior. Really hoping for a low profile ethernet module.
I received the failed payment mail at 1 am, when I was asleep. When I woke up and saw the e-mail I immediately clicked on the link to redo the payment. After I closed my banking app after completing the payment I immediately got an e-mail from Framework that my order was being prepared.
I’m guessing that my order only got delayed for those hours between receiving the failed payment mail and me redoing the payment
@Cheese.With.Clogs I was stupid and went with SEPA,deposit took 5 days to process
Also thought about adding my creditcard after seeing how long SEPA takes, but forgot about it and then I got the Stage 3 email, too late to change.
I think Framwork doesn’t exactly know how iDeal works, it is a onetime payment system. So they cannot automatically charge again. But looking at comments it delays max one day if you pay the day you receive the email.
I acted on it around 3pm Taiwan time (yes, of course I checked… XD). So I know I was before “EOB” for the logistics partners there. Whether that ends up mattering… I dunno, but my guess would be that they start their day with a “batch” (or, well, sub-batch) to process, and any that fail capture is held back that day to allow everyone to work on a predictable set for that day. And then, having paid, my unit ends up cleared for the next day.
But that’s basically a case of “my personal guesswork and expectation”. It can also easily be the case that there’s larger, multi-day, “sub-batches” and that the capture is performed with some margin (the language in the mail seems to indicate this is a possibility). In that case, I would expect my delay to be nil.
So, basically, 0 to 1 days delay is what I would guess at.
To be fair, the dutch payment architecture in general (with the Pinpas and iDeal etc) is super weird to other europeans, too. So I don’t blame them. (Source: I am a Swede that now lives in NL.)
@Daniel_Agorander really? I find the iDeal way more usable that transferring money directly or credit card/VISA debit. And is PIN that different? It’s just maestro/Vpay
(Also be happy that things like chipknip have been dead for years )
I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it is weird.
Think of it like this: an american might find it “weird” that we euros have things like 3D-secure and so on. Doesn’t make those systems bad though, just odd.
To me, iDeal achieves the same thing I normally achieved with my Swedish Visa Debit - but does so with an insular system whereas I’ve never had problems using Visa Debit for purchases from Russia, USA, etc. (Ideal is convenient, and nowadays I prefer it, though. It was just a bit “odd” at first.)
The thing that is super weird to me (or, well, was before I had lived here for a while already), is those Pinpas cards that instead of a “normal” card number have my literal IBAN stamped on them. That’s just “weird”.
It works perfectly fine and is what I use for pretty much every single transaction I make in person. But it is “weird” when you see it the first time.
Edit: I googled “chipknip”, and it made me nostalgic. I remember when they tried to introduce a similar system in Sweden. Swedes rejected it and just went with Visa/MasterCard Debits instead, with only those under 18 using “eCash” or whatever our version was called until Visa Electron and Maestro showed up - both later replaced by the banks just giving everyone a Visa Debit instead.
