Certainly feels like it and I personally wouldn't buy anything from them at the moment.
Edit: would -> wouldn't
I have ordered stuff from them before and they delivered every time. I don't think they would sell something they don't plan to ship. If you look at the inventory it is a little parse.
Also I believe they contract an outside company to manage the warehouse and to fulfill orders
Bought a Pinecil a few weeks ago. No problems.

You would?
I wouldn't; perfectly placed mistake?
Do you mean misplaced take?
Sorry couldn't help myself. 😋I meant what I wrote, but couldn't think of a better way to word it 😅
I made an order on their site just last week without any issues. Granted, I haven't received it just yet since it's an international shipment, but according to tracking info it's in transit.
minor spelling mistake

I don't have concerns about shipping, more about the community building and support aspect of their products.
If you're happy with a product's current state then fine, but if not you're pretty much on your own.
There products pretty much run regular Linux so it they don't need a lot of extra maintaince.
They require a lot of driver work to get everything working. Many of their chips for example only support h264 hardware decoding at the moment, although they would be capable of h265 as well. Another example would be the PineTab 2, which now after a few years has working wifi and an alpha bluetooth driver. Yes, it's always getting better, but very slowly and it might well take another few years until you can just run a mainline kernel with full hardware functionality.
Other people claim they have ordered and delivery was not happening for half a year etc. Seemed like something was up with supply.
Or they are getting sued over patient violations (pure speculation but that has happened to other small companies)
the EU store regularly posts updates on stock
I'm focusing more on the community building and advancing software parts of the work they did/do. Some products are in a pretty good state, but that's not the case for others.
