8000 Series Notification?

This is probably premature…but…has anyone received notice of a shipping date for an 8000 series radio???

Flex did say shipping would begin at the end of August and buyers would be notified 30 days prior.

    The notice I got today said we won't see them till the first few weeks in September. I'm sure if you have a deposit on one, you got the same notice I got.

    No email for me ☹️.

    I was told that I’m in queue because of my 6600 order just before the announcement

    We emailed everyone who had a deposit in place.

    If you didn't receive it, please check your spam folder. If you still didn't see the email, make sure you are using the right email address. Some of you have several. :)

    We are finding that emails going to @arrl.net have, over the past, been bouncing messages. When this happens our mass emailing tool will suspend emails being sent to that address.

    We highly recommend that when placing orders, you do not use @arrl.net for this reason.

    Some of you with your own domain that has not fully set it up with the correct MX Records, SPF Records, DKIM Records, and DMARC Records may need to look into those lettings. What may have worked a year ago may not be working as well as you think today.

    And, some of you don't want to get emails unless there is human intervention meaning we have to take an extra manual step. You do want to make sure you add @flexradio.com and @flex-radio.com to your whitelist

    Still can't find it? Email me at michael@flexradio.com and I will dig into it.

    @fpmacko

    It took me 20 minutes to figure out why you were missed. Due to the uniqueness of your order, it was not captured by the mailing tools.

    Rogerunderstand, Mike. When you get a chance if you could forward the message I'd appreciate it.

    Have a great weekend!

    You should have received it, but if not, it is in the Flex Insider that is being emailed over the weekend. You'll see it there.

  • Geoff AB6BT
    Geoff AB6BT Member ✭✭✭

    OK, I thought the message was that shipping would begin by the end of September. yes?

    I can't locate the message in my email.

  • ka9ees
    ka9ees Member ✭✭✭

    I think that's pretty close.

  • Geoff AB6BT
    Geoff AB6BT Member ✭✭✭

    I'm willing to wait without complaining…I'm just curious.

    Yeah me too. I have never bought a new rig from Flex. Looking forward to it.
