I guess this new batches will take longer because the clockwork team will spend a week in some expo :confused:

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 :frowning: also cm4 modules are expensive to import to my country

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 :smiley:

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?
