Ordered from CS at 16:42 PT. Too late to ship today so hopefully it'll ship on Monday. I've really been looking forward to this little classy EDC flipper. Plus, $153.95 shipped is a nice price for that nice real CF.

Hold on guys. They haven't even listed them as in stock. No reason to think they would skip the pre orders. Some is just ordered from a dealer that didnt do pre orders.

I never do pre-orders. I don't like waiting once they're actually released. I've never seen the benefit to pre-ordering.

Right now, in the video game industry, there is a lot of pushback against pre-ordering. Customers are pre-paying for a product, the customer's money is in the pocket of the seller before the product is even created, so where's the incentive for the seller (or manufacturer) to provide top-shelf customer service or release a product that even works? There is none, and customers are receiving a product that is buggy or doesn't work in most cases.

There is absolutely no benefit to pre-ordering unless the product is truly limited in supply and demand far exceeds that supply.

I've also never pre ordered. There would be very slim chances of me ever pre ordering. I'm confident I can always get what I want.

If BHQ took pre orders on the M4 PM2 that would be one of the times because a pre order would sell the whole batch.

I'm not saying there was real benefit to the preorder I did but that being said they only took the money out for 2 days then put it back into my account, they will bill me once the knife is shipped out from their place. I guess I didn't know how popular it was being my first nicer Spyderco and I wanted to try to get an early shipment.
