Per the first response from VIOFO in this thread, there are only limited quantities available to distribute to retailers in the first batch. However, we expect to have received our full allocation by the end of August.
All pre-orders placed at $69 will be honored.
Business practices has changed a lot since I worked in New York.
There way it work at that time, was we put order out in bid. (Doesn't work in this case)
When the order was place there was a quantity of unit, price, deliver date and maybe other service.
We only use email, fax or snail mail, never public forum or news paper to publish, what we did.
I assume Adorama has an order number, quantity of unit, price, deliver date and email address to Viofo.
I see you have done business with them before, so you must have some contact with them.
Would it not be more professional to keep the dialog with them out of forum.
You chose to put WR1 on sale as back order to get some costumer in you store. (Nothing wrong with that, costumer know it upfront).
I guess there was a deliver date on the order, so you could have put it in the listing.
If there is no deliver date, there is nobody to blame.
If the deliver date has been crossed, you can inform us, there is some delays, and you are in touch with Viofo, to get it delivered as fast as possible.
The short is: I don't like retailer and factory have a negative dialog in the forum. There can only be loser in this game and the rest of us only get a half story and lot of interpretation.
PS: I like to keep my image of Adorama as a nice place to shop.
