Hi John,

I still have not received my order, or a tracking number, even though I have
sent you numerous emails and tried calling you.  Can you please either send
me the tracking number ASAP or arrange a full refund of our money.

Regards,
Aaron.

 We also have NEW STOCK that can ship within 2 to 3 days of order

 BT-102
 HT-286  (YES IN STOCK)

Thank you so much for answering my email so quickly, and I also got your

John, did you ever get any feedback from the GS wish list?

I love the BT-102's with 1 exception. The speaker phone.
I have not come up with a combination that makes it acceptable.
If I had a way to cover up that button I would go ahead and deploy the 
phone.
But the db level and echo to the far end user makes it unusable.

If anyone on the list has successfully configured and used the GS 
speaker phone,
could use please share

  We will have stock of BT-101's BT-102's.  HT-286s stock levels will
  be raised next week and we will have those as well.
  
  Chagres is alive and going well.  We will have inventory

  2 week delay from Digium), and maybe SIPURA. 
  
  
  Good news is that we now have a Euro warehouse and starting in early

While I have not had any dealings with this company, I really enjoy that
you can have open and transparent dealings here.  I have seen this of
one or two other companies on other lists and find it refreshing to hear
about how companies are doing especially when they help the community.

I got an email from him this morning, and I quote:

Hi Aaron,

We are expecting a large container of GS product at the end of this week or
Monday next week. This will clear all backorders that are currently in the
system.


BT-101, BT-102 and HT-286 products are in this container.


Thank you for your understanding and patience. We will be including a little
extra bonus with the order.

 Hello,

 We ordered 100 grandstream 102's from them over a month ago, we got the
 first shipment of 40 within a week and a half which was great. We got the
 next 40 a few weeks later. And we still have had no communications as to
 when the last 20 of the phones that we ordered(and paid for) over a month
 ago are going to be shipped to us. If you get a hold of him let me know,
I'm
 still out 20 phones.

I've been trying to contact him as well.  The last contact I've had from
Chagres was on the 10th of November, but their voice menu says it was
changed on the 20th, so he was still around as of then.

I'm about to charge back the item I've ordered from him.
