Default Latest NavTool Delay

I just received a response from NavTool. Here is what it said:

"When we originally started this group buy we didn’t expect 300 people to sign up just for batch one, and almost 300 for batch 2. We were only expecting 50 people or less when we started

We did it all manually via forms and it created problems in the shipping department,

So we had to open up all packages verify content and programing and now repackaging it all"

I told them that we are sick of their excuses. Several of us are ready to cancel our orders unless we see UPS movement by tomorrow.

This should pretty much be Exhibit Z to the stack of evidence. Thanks for the update norm.

FYI BBB has Navtool on "alert" and gives them a rating of D on a scale of A to F.

I really, sincerely, honestly hope all of you get one and it works perfectly.

Havent they been saying this was a pre-order and NOT a group buy?

I have no dog in this fight as I didn't order. I just have been watching this across 2 forums for a while now and though I'd share that the Acura guys are going through the same thing -- seems like NavTool may have bit off way more than they can chew

http://acurazine.com/forums/fifth-ge...r-poll-942597/

Here's hoping those who stick it out end up with a good product soon!

Why doesn't everyone call the Navtool toll free phone number to check on your status instead of sending emails and PMs and waiting to see if they respond?
I did but the 2 times I have called was told still on track for mine to be shipped out by the 30th of march.

So they generated UPS shipping labels and tracking codes on the 21st and won't ship until the 30th?

Asking for an update...can anyone post a link (or have firsthand, personal, positive feedback) to a successful, first-run delivery by this company? Just one, and I'll take it by PM if you have it. I'm breathlessly waiting to buy once the pre-pays have been delivered. The concept is exactly what I'm looking for, mirror my phone's maps and native apps on my DIC screen. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure Navtool is in partners with this company (or possibly owners of this company as well) as this product has been talked about for years now as "going on sale soon".....

I just sent you the 2 message's from them. I want it as long as it does what they are saying on it. But if I don't get tracking info on by then will just let my card deal with it.

Let me know in here if you got the 2 message I sent you from them. Robert

Did any of you who got a UPS shipping notification see movement on the shipment overnight or are they all still pending pickup by UPS?
