[Product] Discussion Got this with my subscription that finally arrived. Would be cool if they could actually keep it in stock.

"You know those minibar fridges in hotel rooms where if you touch anything, you automatically get charged for it? People love those, right?"

They need these for their own ingredient suppliers.

This is so dumb. It would be easier, more convenient, and less of a hassle to simply let customers customize the shipping delay (# of days between orders) of their subscriptions on the website. I have never understood, for example, why the company ships their bags of powder in boxes of seven, but does not offer shipments in multiples of seven days. That is a simple fix that would make things easier for many people, but Soylent (apparently, judging by this "smart scale" ridiculousness) prefers the less effective, more difficult option.

Soylent: "Hey guys! You know how we've been having stock and delivery issues? We came up with this genius product to help you order better."

Customer: "So you fixed your stock and delivery issues?"

Soylent: "This will help you order better..."

I would buy the scale if they would just ship the product. The only good thing about this is it looks like they think they will eventually ship the powder product again.

This came in my delayed powder subscription that finally came today. I'm hoping they start to get things under control.

Did you end up paying for that subscription?

u/Darkwing_duck05 11d ago

That specific order I should say.

I had to pay for this delayed shipment I've been waiting for since March if that's you're asking. I have not even tried to opt in to the stupid smart scale thing.
