Update: uConsole shipping related

It took me exactly 9 months to get my order and I picked all the delay-increasing options. You would probably get it by then. AliExpress is always an option too if you don’t mind paying $100 more, but you also won’t have to wait 9 months.

Got my CM4 module already…I’m worried that I lose the damn thing as it’s box is smaller than box of matches making it easier to get eaten by the drawer or something xD

Yeah, having never seen one in person I was pretty surprised by how small it was. But the uConsole was bigger than I thought it would be so everything evens out.

Yeah, I got the Hi, Sorry for the waiting. We will be working on your order in just a few days. from Alex a couple days ago. The next e-mail I get from clockwork better be shipping notice, though I have no reason to believe I’ll be receiving my order before the new year.

But the price gouging resellers always seem to have stock, so someone is getting product.

In theory mine should be here in December 2024, starting to think December 2025 is more likely.

Hm, seems like removing cm4 module was actually helpful! (still don’t believe in it though)

We will be working on your order in just a few days.

I’m curious about why clockwork can’t track the order. For example, your order number is xxxxx, and there is a xxxx device queuing in front of you… It is expected to be delivered after xx days. I don’t think it’s a particularly difficult thing. It’s not like now. After paying, I have to wait endlessly, and I don’t know how long I need to wait. It’s very unfriendly to people who are not sure about the itinerary. Maybe I have forgotten about it. Suddenly, I received the news that the order was started to be mailed abroad.

I wanted to buy uconsole before, but considering the insufficient production capacity, I wanted to postpone the purchase until now, but I didn’t expect that the production capacity was still insufficient after a year. Users needed to wait endlessly to buy enough. It seemed that a large number of goods were in the hands of scalpers. It seems that the official is curing users to buy from the yellow cow, otherwise just wait honestly.

I think uconsole is just a tool or an interesting toy. But now the official seems to want to turn uc into an electronic collection. :upside_down_face:

I love mine. I waited about nine months, but it did show up. The build is very good. This is a very high quality item and it was worth the wait.

Just got reply from Alex, 2 batches before mine, he said also since the supply is getting better 3-5 batches/month. So, basically, mine will be sent in 18 to 30 dyas, which means beginning of next year I will recieve the shipment info.

Yeah, it certainly looks nice on the outside but quality control isn’t there for a premium product.

Alex has been saying 3-5 bathes a month for a few months now. But people on the forums tracking these orders have seen that it is significantly less than this. Other people have posted their email conversations with Alex showing that the number of batches before production answers change from email to email and don’t stay consistent for the same order.

ops, then mine will come within half to 5 months

I was told at the end of October there was one before me and they were shipping 3-5 a month. I had ordered a black and they had just shipped a batch of silver. Since then, I have only seen one batch go out in black as far as I can tell from here, reddit, and discord.

If there is no batch this month i think i will have to wait 11 or 12 month in total (totaly the 90 days business day like advertised lol), because there is no way they ship anything in january.

So that begs a question. If I placed an order for matte black, is it possible to change the color choice now to expedite things? If so, I’m interested.
