The poor guys over at MakerBot just can’t win for losing.
People just begged for pre-orders. Now people are upset they have to wait because of pre-orders! Without pre-orders everyone would be guaranteed a longer wait time.
- When you place a pre-order you get a place in line. Otherwise you just have to be the fastest clicker when they post the new kits.
- When you place a pre-order they can use those funds to get your parts, get parts for the next batch (while they work on yours), or, heaven forbid, eat.
- When they get to use your funds to get parts for the next batch, that means they used the funds from the prior batch to get your parts. This means your wait time was shorter because of pre-orders!
If you pre-order a MakerBot it may feel like you’re waiting a long time for your kit – but waiting on a pre-order is so much better than waiting for a sold out product to be placed back in stock. In the meantime, there are so many ways to get ready, participate, and contribute.
Seriously, get started right now! There’s not a moment to lose!
