@jolla tried to contact you via email about refund but haven’t heard back for at-least a week. What’s up with that?
@theseal @jolla likewise... We'll see - I bet they're a bit busy handling 400% more orders than the budgeted 2000 phones
@RWvanLeeuwen @theseal out of interest, why the refund?
@Setok unexpected cost from a water leak
@theseal that’s fair. I don’t think any IP rating has been mentioned (kind of difficult I believe with that Other Half)
@Setok @theseal I've posed this because of the lack of communication. I want tk complete the purchase and not have to wait for over half a year

@RWvanLeeuwen @theseal what communication would you like to see?

That might sound like a dumb question, but it’s honest and asked because they do seem to post somewhat regularly but perhaps you are looking for a specific style or channel.

@Setok @theseal Hi, TL;DR: the communication from @jolla comes across as 'hey lets just post something and then the community will figure itself out'...
I've raised a ticket with the Jolla staff but there was not a single reply after two weeks. The above post is the second form of communication from Jolla that Ive seen after preordering. What I did see in the meantime was that another batch of perordering was opened. But then again @jolla did not reply to any type of question from my side so I am presuming they do not want* to respond to questions/tickets and instead are choosing to work themselves to death or whatever :-) [edit: typo]
@RWvanLeeuwen @theseal OK, that’s curious as I’ve seen regular posts about the development of the new phone. Perhaps on inbound messages the have indeed been super worked. It is a pretty tight team doing it compared to the big players :)
@RWvanLeeuwen @theseal @jolla Same here. And zero response. Do you see a pattern here already?
@theseal @jolla i have also sent email and raised a ticket regarding help with my user account but no answers in two three months. Not good.
@theseal @jolla @RWvanLeeuwen Jolla has said that they have 2-3 weeks worth of emails in the backlog. So it probably will just take time that they are able to process your refund request.
@jolla
You must have heard my thoughts. I was about to contact you to ask when this would happen.
@jolla <meme picture of Fry with a hand full of cash>
@jolla Beware: when you ask about a refund, it's not very trustworthy. There is no easy way to do it in their site, neither in your order. And when you send an email about it: you get no automatic reply even. Sent an email on friday and still waiting any signal at all. Also specifically mentioned jolla here. NOTHING. So I expect they will ALLOW ME TO CANCEL ANYTIME AS PROMISED IN THEIR WEB, well... «anytime». Before «complete your order», which I DON'T WANT TO.
@soulchainer @jolla People haven't had any problems with refunding (that they have made public at least), but Jolla has said they have 2-3 weeks backlog of emails. So it just will take some time that they are able to process yours
@Antti98 @jolla 2-3 weeks. Ufff... They process payments almost instantly. Well, it's better than nothing, I guess. Still, not the proper way to do things or gain trust. Thanks for the info.
@soulchainer @jolla I think the shop platform takes care of payment processing so it doesn't need manual work. Jolla is small team and I don't think they have specific customer support team. I kind of like how they put all possible resources for development but it back fires in case you would need response quickly.... Hopefully customer care gets better in the future!
@Antti98 @jolla I hope so too. For the people coming after me. Me no more, sadly :(.
@soulchainer @jolla can I ask just out of curiosity, why do you want refund?
@jolla hi I preordered for the September batch and asked a follow up question to [email protected] but no answer yet. Is this the wrong email address?
@mad_wombat @jolla Email address is correct, but they have admitted they have 2-3 weeks backlog of emails. So the answer might take a while. If you have general questions, the forum is great place to find information
@Antti98 @jolla Ah that makes sense then. No was specific to my order, but then I’ll just practice my patience. Will have to wait until September anyway right?
@mad_wombat @jolla Yes, if you ordered one from the September batch, then you would get your unit earliest at September.
@jolla very exciting! ☎️

@jolla Hey! Have any of the community got any email for completing the payment?

First buyer here and it’s feels this phone will be great.
