Can you please email info@soylent.me with your order info? Please use subject: "My 1+ month order"

Hey @JulioMiles, I sent an email earlier to info@soylent.me, but I'm a 6-weeker whose order may have slipped through the cracks of the queue as well. Haven't heard anything yet. Thought I'd give you a shoutout in this thread since you've helped some others…

do you use MCT oil in it?

I want this. How do I get it? Do I have to make it myself?

Ya, right now it would be hard to refer anyone with a 2-3 month wait for your stuff.

I ordered 6 weeks of Soylent (1 month over a year ago and then 2 additional weeks before the 4/25 cutoff) and I haven't heard anything in regards to my order being shipped yet. I emailed info@soylent.me as per the Twitter update. Hoping to see an email/forum…

Zenman said: They recently predicted that all orders made on May 5th or later will ship 10-12 weeks from the order date. That means they expect to be done shipping all orders made before May 5th sometime between July 15th and July 29th, if my math…

I like the sweetness but a bit like cake batter. :)

Yeah I'm actually not really even joking about that. At current consumption rates our monthly Soylent is costing a bit more than $500, so being paid in Soylent certainly does amount to something that makes a difference. Of course, if one were to refer…

They recently predicted that all orders made on May 5th or later will ship 10-12 weeks from the order date. That means they expect to be done shipping all orders made before May 5th sometime between July 15th and July 29th, if my math is correct. Since…

Get ready for 1 million new orders

Grats you have two friends

Not yet. At this point I'm just trying to figure out how to put together a complete (or almost complete) recipe using ingredients available in Japan. I plan to give it a try in a few weeks when I have a little more time.

The title says it all. I can't afford to buy a huge bulk order right now because they come to like $200 even for the cheap orders. Is there any way that someone could sell me a bit of Soylent from Amazon? Not sure if Amazon would allow this or not.

vanclute said: I might not mind being paid in Soylent! In all seriousness, I don't think that'd be a bad idea, and the perceived value would be higher. Giving you a month worth of Soylent would be cheaper for them then giving you $255. I'd also like…

discourse.soylent.me Official Soylent Shipping/Fulfillment Thread Yesterday in Backerkit we finalized the shipping information for the majority of backers and charged any pending add-on orders. To clarify: "Ready to ship" means that…

Agreed... and since this is food we're talking about - something people simply cannot go without - it has a potential "stickiness" that is nearly unheard of. If they ever do an affiliate program that involves monetary compensation, then there is the…

At this point they have greater demand than they are able to satisfy effectively. Once their core of customers are all steadily receiving their product, and they're finally able to fulfill new orders immediately, then they might start being interested…

I have some PB2 I have been planning on mixing in. I have found that mixing into chocolate milk with a blender is delicious.

While I understand the benefits of the Fish Oil in the Soylent product, I wonder if the company or any users have anything to say on what is known of the mercury content of the Soylent Fish Oil.Has it been tested?Who did the test(s)?What were the numbers?From…

tl;dr: "Give me free Soylent."

I ate a dry spoonful of it when it first arrived from Amazon, last year, when I expected Soylent to be shipping soon... Besides the obvious "OMG my mouth is drying out" feeling, it tasted pretty good. I don't think I could ever quit regular peanut butter…

Unless the number of 4-week orders is extremely higher than other order sizes shipped thus far, I'd expect to hear something much sooner than 2-3 weeks from now. But, best not to get one's hopes up.

I actually switched over to reconstituted PB2 instead of store-brand PB like a year ago, and found it was great in sandwiches or on rice cakes. Didn't quite taste the same, but it took only a very short adjustment period. So yeah... actually making…

Tried without cocoa or cinnamon, let it sit mixed overnight, still very bad. Next time will try with some vanilla whey I have instead of pea/rice protein.

Just tried the PB2. I only had about 6 oz of Soylent left from my original batch and it took three heaping spoonfuls* to get any kind of peanut butter taste out of it. I mixed it into the Soylent, and it clumped up terribly. Not wanting to dirty the blender…

If they're working on one month orders now, at their current pace it seems like they'd be completely done with the preorder queue by the end of June. Then they'd move on to the orders placed May 6, 2014 and beyond. If that's what happens, that'd actually…

Exactly the same here--4 weeks ordered in March. Order ready to ship (has been at this status for a few weeks) but no email yet. Would expect/hope to hear something within 2-3 weeks now that they are in the 4-week order phase for those before the cutoff.…

I added it to an already-poured glass of Soylent. Hadn't considered if that would matter... does it?

Don't get too excited, I only orders 1 week and it says "Your order is ready to ship."

Backerkit says "Your order is ready to ship." 4 Weeks, ordered March 2014, have not received tracking information emails as of yet.

I've had horrible allergies all my life. I've gotten shots for about 13 years now (two times for about five years and now in about my third year for the third time). I haven't seen any great effects for my allergies. I'm doing reasonably good but still…

Burning? Hm, no burning here from me or the bf. My poop is a light tan color. Soft, but still solid. Sinks at first, then floats in a strange way. I don't have a lot of poop, but I need to poop more often. I really enjoy Soylent, but I miss the satisfaction…

I agree that suggesting a free week as an option isn't the same as demanding one. As long as the comment was made with the intention of constructive discourse, it's different from asking for handouts. That being said, the initial post is forward enough…

@livingparadox I've only gone part-time with Soylent on days 3 & 4. I was out of town so I ended up with only 1 out of 3 meals being Soylent on those days, so I can't say for sure. I'm back on all-Soylent today for day 5, and so far the issues seem to…

I got my first 28-day order of Soylent April 29th. I received my next 28-day order of Soylent May 29th, but now, only 11 days later, I got a notice my third 28-day delivery will arrive today. While this is wonderful, it means I have a bit of a surplus.…

melkins2 said: I suggest them offering a free week of soylent on the house with each reorder Um...isn't that asking for something for free? melkins2 said:

just to know if y'all guys (orders 1 month or less ) checked backerkit . Does it say your order is ready to ship or does it yet say that your orders will be shipped soon ? Especially would like to know the status of people who orders are less than a month

Did you put the vanilla extract into the soylent or into the water before mixing the soylent?

Reading your update, I think the facial flushness and lightheadedness is something I've been experiencing off and on as well. I just didn't know how to describe it before. Have you continued having those issues or have they faded away?

I'm also afraid of heating it, and cold oatmeal does not sound appetizing. I'm certain the microwave would destroy it, but maybe slowly warming it up in a pot would work...

My pitcher beat my Soylent, getting here on Saturday. (Note for the Rosa Labs folks: USPS way outperforms FedEx on shipments to outlying parts of the US. Not sure what the price differential is.) The Soylent is coming tomorrow, if FedEx's tracking is…

I have always been sensitive to the taste of fish oil. I guess I was hoping that it would be subtle enough not to notice. Unfortunately, the taste seemed to get stronger the more I drank. I need to find some type of flavoring to cover it.

Order number doesnt matter

Soylent pudding? e.g. the chocolate Jell-o branded one, or whatever flavor you prefer if you're not a fan of chocolate. I'm tempted to try it with the maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal I've got in my cupboard... I've got a little bit left from my…

@chris_bair, rockin' the Soylent again! I will be copycatting and using one of my empty maltodextrin containers to make a week's supply at a time. I love it! Also, the kitchen is most excellent. What an incredible job you did. Thanks for letting…

Should I have received my Kit Tracking or Soylent Tracking email by now for my 1 month supply? I was 737th to order, not sure if that puts me near the front of the queue or if all 1-month orders are all just mushed together. http://diy.soylent.me/shipment-tracker…

What single ingredient do you like to mix Soylent with or are most excited to try?(Not multiple ingredients, just one.)

Has anyone had any luck changing their shipping address? I sent an email to info@soylent.me with my new shipping information 11 days ago, but I haven't received a response yet.

When I tried vanilla extract, I couldn't taste it at all until I added so much that it mostly tasted like the alcohol in the vanilla... and was really pretty awful. Be interesting to hear what you find with that!

LOL Yeah, that's roughly the way the conversation was in my head as well... (facepalm)

I'm about to test it too. Ordered two months of active man set, shipment to France. Will keep you updated.

Yes. Twenty characters.

I know what you mean about that Cal-Mag sticking to everything! And yeah, whey protein isolate is a great way to mop it up. I'm amazed that the powders all mix evenly when you do an entire week's worth at one time! I haven't tried that before...

So this means my one month order should be shipping any day now?

Update! Got a response from Julio; sounds like my order wasn't consolidated when it should have been. That's been fixed and my order is being shipped out. Great news!

There was another thread on this already. (I posted in it, as this is one of the main reasons I want Soylent, being an avid backpacker) Seems like Soylent is the hardcore backpacker's dream come true. :]

Again, I NEVER ASKED FOR FREE ANYTHING. All I said was that since they are not meeting their initial projections by a long shot they might as well show some good faith to the people they have kept waiting. If you guys honestly have a problem with me…

FYI, it's listed there now.

Mixing it up: http://youtu.be/yajQIHLYlHQ

As promised some months ago (we finally finished the tile backsplash) here's a new video showing mixing up a week of DIY soylent (people chow) in 12 minutes. The secret is Utz Cheese Ball jars.

Thanks for all the advice. I can't (well, I guess won't) do prunes as I'm doing 100% Soylent ATM. Since all of my cards are on the table here, I will also mention (in the least graphic way I can muster) that my biological packages are not terribly…

I'm beginning to feel really badly for people who come to the forums looking for this kind of information. Without having an ambassador step up, like you have so kindly done here, I feel the immediate impression for new people tends to end up on the negative…

Sorry about that, @william -- still working on getting our support team ramped up: the sheer number of permutations between crowdhoster/backerkit/shopify/subscription orders, and campaign orders / add on orders / order consolidation deadlines / etc is…

bengenovo said: Not clear why older orders behind newer orders? Short version, they've been shipping in order of size, so that re-orders didn't come in all at once before production capacity ramped up. They're just finishing the 1-month size orders.…

Soy protein is also an allergen.Make sure and check first so that you are not allergic to the stuff.

Maybe so, but I personally dislike the taste of seafood, so I'll leave that particular one to someone else to try out

Not clear why older orders behind newer orders? Is that a reasonable business practice somewhere on earth?

Looks like premixed servings of DIY soylent to me.

Is this a thread with actual /past /pending shipping status information? If not is there another "official" piece of current text on any medium which actually has shipping status?

This entire thread is nonsense. Backers didn't purchase Soylent with the promise that it would be at their door in 3 to 5 business days, they backed a startup. The startup made some public comments about expected delivery time and didn't meet it, a…

Ah interesting, I didn't know that! OK will mention it and see if she feels like being a lab rat. LOL

Didn't you also say your friend ordered an additional two months before the cut off? That's why he got his before you.

I have a question for original backers who have received there orders, dont want to start a whole thread for one question. Did you receive any type of receipt with your shipment? I will be going over the border tomorrow to pick up my Soylent but I will…

Soy's not good for dudes.

It's interesting that you can taste the fish oil. I don't eat fish, and can't stand the smell or taste of fish but can't detect anything fishy in my Soylent, just malty slightly vanilla goodness (I happen to like the taste). I will still be experimenting…

You could test it too. Have her eat a bunch of strawberries in the morning and then go out to the garden. Strawberries are very high histamine producing foods and if she has issues that day and no other day, then it is a reasonable hypothesis to work…

I'm glad you had success. I emailed them and got a timely response which said that new orders aren't shipping, even though I specified that I ordered before the cutoff. I don't think the support person read my whole message (which was 2 sentences) before…

I wonder why the blog hasn't been updated with this news.Some of us (cough) can't access social media during the majority of our internetsing. [I'll be damned if I surf the internet without being paid whilst doing so! ]

Thanks. I sent them an email, we'll see what happens. Hope my order hasn't fallen through the cracks completely...

I ordered my Soylent very early LAST YEAR. Got mine three days ago. It was well worth the wait and i'll continue to use the product until it's not longer available. You should be more patient. Just go about your daily life until the little white box shows…

You have given me hope where previously there was none. 15 years of allergy shots have gotten me to the point i can go outside for a full day and not be miserable....sometimes. There are still half-a-box-of-tissues days fairly regularly though. -Allergy…

Interesting... I guess all we can really do is give it time and see if she has any recurrence of allergy issues, especially on the super high pollen count days when she's also out in the garden. Will just pay attention to any changes one way or another...
