Maybe something happened to the warehouse and they have to start over from scratch. Or maybe there is no insurance and no money to start over again after something happened to the warehouse.
Or it’s aliens and @AlexDuan is just figuring out how to break the news to everyone. Insurance likely won’t cover alien-related damages, let’s be real…
government always has to find a way to screw things up . . . thank you for the update @AlexDuan ! It’ll be resolved soon I’m sure. Come on guys, we’re in the homestretch, it would be a shame to ask for a refund and then they ship 2 weeks later!
Thank you again for the update Alex. I don’t blame you or your team for anything that you can’t control.
I also wanted to mention to the forum that Alex was very quick to respond to a recent question about my order by email.
I ordered in November, I’m moving in early autumn, and wanted to know if I should change my address on the order. Turns out my uConsole’s expected to arrive before I move, so fingers crossed!
Over the past several years, there have been several high-profile instances where U.S. trade policy has impacted Chinese technology companies. These cases often involve concerns about national security or the protection of intellectual property. Here are a few examples:
Huawei - One of the most well-known cases involves Huawei, a major Chinese telecommunications equipment and consumer electronics manufacturer. The U.S. government has claimed that Huawei’s equipment poses a national security risk due to potential ties to the Chinese government and military. As a result, Huawei was placed on the U.S. Entity List in 2019, which effectively banned U.S. companies from doing business with them without a license. This has significantly impacted Huawei’s ability to source components for their devices and to sell their products in the U.S. market.
ZTE - Another case involves ZTE, another major Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer. In 2018, the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed a ban on American companies selling components to ZTE due to alleged violations of trade sanctions against Iran and North Korea. This ban, which lasted several months, significantly disrupted ZTE’s operations and supply chain.
TikTok and WeChat - More recently, the U.S. government has also targeted Chinese software companies, citing concerns about data privacy and national security. In 2020, the Trump administration issued executive orders that sought to ban the popular apps TikTok and WeChat, although these orders were later challenged in court.
In each of these cases, the specific concerns and circumstances are different, but they all illustrate how political and security concerns can impact trade relations and the operations of technology companies. It’s worth noting that these actions have often been controversial and have contributed to tensions in U.S.-China trade relations.
In the case of the uConsole, it’s not entirely clear how these broader dynamics are impacting their situation. However, the reference to past lawsuits involving Made-in-China electrical devices suggests that the scrutiny they are facing from customs officials could be related to these broader issues.
Thanks for the update! I’d love to know what batch my device ships in, is there is a simple date range for the order batches? It might be more complicated with shipping to different countries though…
I know absolutely nothing about this but it’s probably not so easy to separate 4g from wifi going into customs. If I were customs I would probably want to check to make sure, which would mean opening shipments and a lot of wasted time. Or maybe they are not sorted from clockwork’s end… who knows
