  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

The Update Thread

1. I'd bet on around 11am PST.

2. Your time stamp matters the most. The people putting in deposits today get a today timestamp. You with an earlier time stamp will get your camera first... if you press the go button that day one.

but... there is one thing that kinda throws that for a loop. Since we have such a massive amount of cameras ready to ship on Tuesday, It's going to be a bit of a free-for-all. It really depends how many Scarlet-W to Epic-W switchers call in that first day.

If at the end of the day we have more cameras left over than people with early deposits call in to switch, we are going to move those cameras out the door to whoever shows up because we are in full manufacturing swing... and will be making a healthy amount of cameras every day.

So come day 2, we kinda reset and take the orders and see who that day has the earliest time stamp from before this all and ship them out and if there are any left over they goto whoever is next on the standby. rinse and repeat.

And Dealers.. they will have a bunch of cameras in inventory as well, and they are supposed to follow the time stamp for their own orders, but that's impossible for us to police which is why i suggest if you have your order in with a dealer you should show up there and bribe the hell out them.

This all of course assumes we get a controllable amount of orders that first day. If it goes way off the charts and we get more SW to EW orders than we have stock of.... then its kind of insanity and your timestamp is even more important.

Awesome... Thanks so much for the answers Jarred!

Oh yeah. I'm hoping that by the end of the week I'm shooting and testing instead of refreshing the update thread haha. Could be wishful thinking though.

Word from my dealer is availability for pick up tomorrow. If that happens, I will post some R3Ds for y'all.

So i can assume that my bricked Epic Dragon can benefit from the 14500$ trade in path for the Epic w...
 
Well said!

That's why the upgrade program is not forced on you :)

It's an option. If you like the option, just take it, if not, don't take it, but please do not complain about the price.

I personally think the upgrade deal is awsome and has a great price. You've said it yourself, you would end up spending the same amount of money if you sold your camera and bought a new EPIC-W, so the price is not the problem. How come you think you should pay less? No business offers upgrades or trade-in deals for prices that are better than those on the SH market.

By upgrading your gain is much more than money, you make the transaction hassle free and you don't waste time and money advertising and selling your 5 - 6 year old camera.

I'm just ready to see how many people switch, and how much closer I'll be to getting my Scarlet-W. :ihih::ihih:

Excited to see the update.

Everybody switch! I would love to have my S-W in hand by end of the month.
 
If we do end up in the first batch (that could potentially ship out tomorrow?) how long does shipping usually take? Could I theoretically have the camera by Friday?

Just to confirm for those outside the US (and this is my first time at doing a mad rush like this, i missed the original S-W announcement and not making that mistake twice) and i hope i'm not being too pedantic.

Should we be looking to press a button on the red.com site or dropping a mail to our bomb squad rep? I've already spoken to her here in the UK and am waiting to see the full announcement and see if the drunken finance works outside of the US, but 11am PST will be 18:00 here and i doubt anyone from Red UK will be around at the time.

So in terms of allocation - i have my S-W order with an April Timestamp. The site goes live and all those that want to switch stake their claim. But in the UK if we do it through our local reps then there will be nothing taken until the next morning most likely, so we'll miss a day of allocations. But if we're supposed to do it via the Red.com site that's not the issue.

Again, apologise for being so pedantic about it all... just don't want to miss out :)

cheers

All the details will be posted on REDuser.net tomorrow when Jarred starts what will become the renowned "October Update" Thread. Presumably at 11amPST
stay tuned and look for ordering/ upgrading steps in that announcement.

RED usually overnights packages in the lower 48. They know you need your stuff fast! They are great that way!

That's even more incredible! Unfortunately I am booked Wednesday/Thursday for shoots, hmm... Might have to figure something out.

You pay for as fast or slow shipping as you want. Obviously will cost a lot more pennies for overnight. lol

There "normal" priced shipping has been two days in my experience. And I'm pretty sure when they sent me my Scarlet-W it was next day delivery... But maybe I did pay extra for that. Either way... They are quick to ship and everything I've ordered has come FedEx... Which I like :)
