Why do those businesses get priority? Why should the customers of those businesses get them earlier then direct pre-orderers? Why should I have pre-ordered if it didn't mean anything? What did me paying mean if it didn't mean to get the device earlier?

While I have been generally more amused of complaints about delayed deliveries here than anything else, I do greatly agree with Shirabe here.

If the case really is that retailers get priorized over over individual pre-order customers in business case like Fxtech, who communicates outside the importance of community and enthuastist, even I find annoying. Of course Clove tech might be pre-orderers or investors themselves. Or FxTech might just bee in great need of cash and has to prioritize new revenue sources. In those cases I understant.

This might be my first scrach or pump with them. Well, you never know what happens with startups and pre-orders
