i was about to buy batteries, theb i saw the shipment time… lucky me
XD XD I did it as soon I paid, that was in may
what is your order number? mine is 305xx
i saw some people get the device and they ordered april i think
285xx but I asked for a black unit with CM4 included so is the second most delayed product.
oh, i included cm4 also… wrong decision i made…
Purchased Feb 7 2024 Order 270xx
uConsole Kit RPI-CM4 Lite
Color: Matte Silver
Type: WIFI+4G cellular
Core: Raspberry Pi CM4 104000 lite
Contacted Jun 12 2024- Was told due to Lunar New Year I have 3 more batches before mine.
Contacted Aug 17 2024 - Told one more batch to go “Won’t take much longer”
Contacted Sept 19 2024 - Told they will be working on my order in “just a few days”
Still waiting.
I guess this new batches will take longer because the clockwork team will spend a week in some expo
There will be about 3 more batches to go before yours.
Switching to non-core WiFi-only versions can reduce the waiting time.
So there is a single batch per month.
I know, but there are no cm4 sellers in México so a no core unit just means to wait two foreign pakages instead one also cm4 modules are expensive to import to my country
So, if 1000/month, i ordered days ago 305xx, ideally, everyone ordered now will get the device before next lunna new year.
Except the scalpers seem to get more and faster.
Oh, really?! That is bad… hope they are not cheaper at least
Thats the awnser i got 2 days ago " Hi,
Shipping time of uConsole is 90-business-day as on the product page.
That being said, there will be about 1 more batch to go before yours." I am 298xx sooo i dont know man
That is funny.
I’m waiting since 182 working days
So, you are kind of one batch before me i guess. Please post here when u got it, haha
emmm, they better send your item soon, it is too much waiting
Well that’d beat the purpose of scalping - the idea is to buy in bulk and then sell at a profit with margin being often at least the double of MSRP. It’s despicable practice that tries to take advantage of supply shortage of high demand product - most notable example of recent years was the whole kerfuffle around PS5 release.
In case of uConsole however, you’re dealing with relatively niche product that’s being manufactured by a company that simply does not have sufficient means to keep up with the demand.
But this issue has been discussed several times over so I’m not gonna repeat what’s already been said
You are right, i justed noticed a secornd hand one in my country selling dpuble the price
Latest answer from Alex: “collected by the shipping agency by now”. (2 days ago)
No emails about shipping or anything.
Considering your experience, how long it will take from now?
