There's another preorder window coming up next week, and I hope for the sake of anyone who decides to get one that OnePlus irons out the kinks in their order fulfillment process. The first pre-order window was a total disaster as I pointed out above, and even once my pre-order was confirmed, every step of the process has been a total mess.

First they had authorization problems with PayPal because their order processing system was passing on orders with empty shipping addresses. Then they fixed that, charged my credit card, and sent me a tracking number. Except the tracking number's been in "shipping label created" status since last Thursday. What's the point of doing two-day shipping if you're going to sit on it for three or four days before you actually ship the thing?

Anyway, really looking forward to getting the phone, but the company really needs to learn some things about how to run a retail business.
