marc schlaile: when will you deliver the next batch of viri?

[dr. orange]

Dear marc,
I have contacted the access sales hotline and asked them, when the next batch of viri will be shipped. This was the answer:

Hello ******************,
Thank you for your mail. We're shipping another big batch of Virus TI synthesizers in the next few
days to our international distributors. I'm not involved in sales, so I have no exact overview on how
many units are shipped to which country, but this definitely can be told by our local distributor.

I got the reply at 5. feb

Today, I've seen at www.thomann.de the following:
Lieferbarkeit dieses Artikels: Voraussichtliche Lieferung am 24.03.2006

Now please tell me what's true. And tell me by what number I have to multiply your answer. Ok, I stop bitching now...

I'm waiting three monts for my virus now. Please tell me was Sache ist

dear dr. orange,

what our sales department told you is actually true: we don't know how distributors allocate the units they receive. and the distributors don't know how the shops allocate their units. thoman is a shop selling to customers - there could be 10 people in thoman's waiting list or 1... so how can we know when they will have one available for you? and don't ask me about why it is exactly the 24.3.2006 ...

if i would be in your shoes i would order one in a local store. don't put any money down, just get on the list. if they tell you that you need to put money down, go somewhere else. neither us nor our distributors collect money upfront.

best, marc

Hi marc,
yes, that's exactly what I've done - three months ago... I was at thomann for another thing and had a look whether they have some TIs available - I considered buying it there because I don't wanna wait another month, but that actually would be the case... If the batch has already been shipped, it's a matter of a few days till I get mine I suppose... I'll see

marc,
today is feb 17. I got the reply of access that access will ship the next batch in few days feb 5.

Have you shipped it already? Or do we have to wait another "few" days?

I mean, why else should my question to sales (and I have it sent to the sales departement email adress) be replied by someone who's not involved in sales? That you can tell us that "that was no official sales reply, so we cannot guarantee anything" afterwards? Probably I shouldn't even trust your answers here on this forum, because it's inofficial as well. I'm fed up with begging for true/official and exact answers.
