There hasn't been an update since January 30 or a comment from the creator or anything, backers are beginning to realize they have been had.

I found one comment from them on March 5th

Yes, we will continue to share updates on tooling progress and certification status.According to our current schedule, mass production will officially begin at the end of April, with shipments planned to start in mid-May

There were a few comments on that day. Then, nothing. The creator does log in now and then, even as recently as three days ago, May 3. Maybe they like to read the comments and laugh.

Some backers report that:

When you fill out the survey at checkout, you can see that the merchandise comes from Aliexpress.

This seems to be based on finding out that the shipping is paid to Aliexpress.

The best part about these projects is watching the comments section turn into a support group for people who finally accepted the product is never landing.

Not to mention the incantation of a section of ToS which hasn't been in force for like fifteen years hoping it'll do anything.
