What's this?

[Thomas Porfert]

There's nothing wrong with what I stated; we don't work on a first in first out inventory. We just starting using the wire on the board about 2 weeks ago, I don't have an exact date, but it is right around the time both of you got yours. He just got one off the shelf that was from the "newer" batch, you got one from an "older" batch

When the order comes in they pull them from the shelf and put them in a shipping box. The one that was grabbed for yours was one that was made before we did the wires on the board, the one he was shipped was made after the switch. Simple as that.

Shipping dates do not reflect manufacturing dates; his was simply made after yours, when we started soldering the wires on the board. Theoretically we could still have controllers on the shelves with all 5 connectors and ship them out next week. But the controller on the shelf next to it could have power wires soldered to the board. It would be random chance, as in the case with you and brooklyrcer.

Hope this clears things up.
