Lumina began taking public pre-orders for their oral probiotic product on April 9th, 2024 with an estimated ship date of June 2024.
An update sent via email to customers on June 18th, 2024 read:
We’re in the process of setting up our new bioproduction facility, and it took us longer than expected to find a space that was up to our standards. We’re now in the setup, registration, and permitting process, but these hurdles have added some weeks to our expected shipping date. Our original shipping timeline was “June”; we’d like to now conservatively say “August”.
The August estimate came and went then a reply from the @LuminaProbiotic account on Twitter on September 21st, 2024 read:
We're still setting up our new bioproduction facility in Palo Alto—yeah, this has taken a lot longer than planned. The GARM clinic in Honduras has got product available if you're up for the trip
This market resolves to "Yes" if my pre-order placed April 10th, 2024 at 3:47:03 AM UTC ships (i.e., I receive a tracking number from Lumina) on or before December 31st, 2024.
UPDATE: An email sent to pre-order customers on November 26th, 2024 at 5:34 AM UTC reads:
Hello, Lumina Probiotic customers! Thank you for your saintly patience. We're now ready to begin shipping product.
It took us about three times longer than expected to get the bioproduction facility up and running, but we're finally here.
Depending on what shipping zone of America you live in, it might take a different number of weeks for it to arrive; people living on the West Coast should expect to receive theirs first.
Thank you for being an early adopter! We couldn't have gotten here without you, and it means a lot that you believe in us.
